My 2007/8 Frigidaire dishwasher leaks out of front at the bottom in the middle. The bottom door seal intentionally has a gap in the middle and it is through this gap that the dishwasher leaks. It only leaks with soap (doesn't leak on initial rinse cycle and doesn't leak when just rinsing). When I open dishwasher to see inside when leaking is happening, water and suds are about 6 inches above the bottom of bottom tray (which seems like a lot of water and suds)
Run it with no soap. if you get no leaks then cut back on your soap. you may need to run washer a few cycles to get rid of excess soap.

Are you washing cereal bowls or mixing bowls on the bottom rack? If so, are you placing them in front? Sudden leaks that form huge puddles can often be attributed to improper loading of the dishwasher. Most dishwashers don't have a seal across the tub front. The door closes over it and does a pretty good job of deflecting water back inside the wash cavity. However, if you place bowls in the front on the bottom rack rack they can divert the water right over the tub lip and onto the floor. This is usually the culprit that causes most leaks in dishwashers. Now, if you don't think you have a loading problem, remove the kick panel on the bottom of the dishwasher and check the drain line and pump housing for leaks. Check the door gasket for tears or cracks. Lastly, feel inside the bottom of the door with your hand. You should be able to feel the door insulation. If it is wet, then the problem could be a leak around your soap or rinse-aid dispenser. Depending on the model, some dispensers are mounted to the door with a gasket behind it. Sometimes this gasket can form leaks. I hope this helps.

I had the same problem and replaced the door seal. You need to remove the front door to do this. Requires some 'handyman' experience.

it sounds like you need to adjust the door latch so that the top of the door will close tighter. when in the rinse cycle try pushing door at top to see if leak stops. if that doesn't let you know something then you got me. you have changed all that i can think of. Good luck

I had the same problem in 2004, lots of Bosch trained repair techs, calls to Bosch, and the appliance dealer we purchased it from with no answers. Our kitchen cabinet bases were ruined by the flooding that occured. After months of trying to get help I insisted on speaking to a supervisor that told me it was my fault for putting a flexible cutting board on the right side a blocking the vent. I told her that no where in the manual did it mention this issue and none of their trained techs were aware of this flaw in their design. When I asked about getting my cabinets repaired she said that was not an option. When I mentioned possible legal action her response was "good luck with that". Here it is 2009 and they recently called about a possible fire hazard recall for the control panel. The Bosch trained tech that came out to complete the repair knew nothing about the vent/flooding issue.

Good Morning Susan Hanley, thank you for your post!
From what you are describing it could be a possible problem with the gaskets for your Frigidaire dishwasher. Where is the leak coming from? If it is coming from the door it could be one of the door seals not sealing properly. Check the seals to make sure that they are not out of place.
If the leak is from the bottom of the dishwasher it could be a loose hose or drain pump issue. You may need to have a technician come out to your home to properly diagnosis and repair your dishwasher. I hope this is helpfully. -Matt

I found the model number it is FDB2415LFB0. I also check to be sure that the dishwasher is level and it is, I looked at the float and it seems to move freely, so I assume it is working, but am not really sure what to look for in a broken float. Thanks.
