The dishwasher is leaking over the top of the right corner of the kickplate. We ran a rinse cycle through it with nothing in the dishwasher - no dishes or soap and it had lots of suds inside the tank. I took a towel and wiped out the suds that were left after we drained it(drained it through the actual cycle on dishwasher). Nothing has ever been put into the dishwasher that would cause it to sud up - no regular dishwashing liquid, all spills of jetdry have always been wiped up and not allowed to remain. Thank you for your help.

Run the unit with no soap or dishes and use 2 table spoons of vegetable oil. Then run the unit through a 2nd full cycle with no soap or dishes to finish cleaning out. Try cutting down on the amount of soap and see how it does. Hope this helps.

I don't think it is leaking but what was there was probably a result of numerous overfills . Washed it all off and I think it's good to go. I appreciate your help in this. Saved us a minimum of $69 for a visit from a local repair shop.
