Why is my dishwasher leaking water?

Water leaks can be caused by: suds from using the wrong type of detergent (use only dishwasher detergent; if suds persist, add one tablespoon of vegetable oil and run a cycle), the door seal being pulled away from the track (ensure it is properly seated), the condensation vent being blocked, or improper installation. Have proper installation verified by qualified personnel if the problem persists.
