Still leaks almost pour, when i was working on it prior to you helping the I had pulled part #505 and sump cap out . Could this gasket be loose now and throwing the water to the front?
Also a tiny white C-clip fell on the floor when I opened the DW door..but that was after the leak was discovered.

I believe if the leak were coming from that part it would be leaking from the bottom not the door but make sure it is pushed down good and the clamp is tight. The wash arm is what will shoot water under the door. Did you take that off? also you need to determine if maybe the leak is coming through the door or under the door. The door gaskets almost never go bad but make sure its not loose.

The arm was never removed, I didn't havethe DW pushed all the way in so I put it in tightened it up top and leveled it with a slight tilt in the back..the float is good the gaskets hold water and the door seal is great, the black side seals i took those out and cleaned them put them back in. so...I will go turn it on now and see what happens. The water valve looks good...it poured out of the side left corner of the door before...so I'll get bacj to you..
well found it ! a hole small left corner right infront of the baffle I tried to push down on the baffle to see if it would stop and discoved a hole bottom of door. it looks like a screw they used to put the outside kickplate on has penetrated all the way thru it was not original screw they used. what now?

Someone must have used the wrong screw when putting the front on before. I am assuming the screw was stopping up the hole. That’s why it wasn’t leaking before. You can try putting the same screw back in but if that doesn’t work you may have to try patching the hole with epoxy or something like that.
