Causes of lower door seal failure commonly involve repeated compression stresses from opening/closing actions gradually stiffening the flexible gasket material. Drying out and cracking occurs over years of heat exposure as well.

Symptoms of a worn lower door seal include:

• Water leaking out from beneath dishwasher door during cycles
• Difficulty latching door completely from warped seal edges  
• Visible cracks, splits or brittleness along the length of the seal
• Gaps allowing water intrusion beneath door perimeter

Causes of a bad Diverter Motor can include electrical failures, mechanical wear over time, or damage from water infiltration.  

Symptoms of a bad Diverter Motor include:

• Dishes not being cleaned properly due to insufficient water reaching all areas.
