Check and make sure the unit is level front to back and side to side.
Check all 3 spray arms for plugged or restricted holes that may be diverting water in the wrong direction..

Leaking water on the right hand side

Does it seem to be coming from the door it self or from underneath the unit?

If it's coming from the door, check the seal or maybe replace it. It's easy enough and cheap.


(disconnect power before proceeding to the next step)
If it's coming from underneath the unit, first start a cycle to drain it then stop it. Pull the unit out and flip it to its side(have a couple towels ready), then remove the bottom cover and check hoses connects or any signs of leakage.

LG dishwasher leaking out the bottom of the door. It's that gasket that runs along the inside bottom of the door. How do you keep it in place? It keeps pushing in and then floods my kitchen.

My dishwasher was doing the same thing, but it was because of a clogged vent. The minerals in the water built up to a point that it was totally blocked and since it couldnt vent, the water ran down the inside of the door and leaked out the bottom. I just popped the vent cover off of the inside of the door and cleaned it out and it stopped leaking.

What does the F2 Error mean? I got that error thsi morning. The engine was buzzing so I turned the power off. I have cleared what appears to be calcium and/or soap build-up in the 3 filters and in the...

The F2 error means the tray underneath the unit has filled with water. You will need to pull out the dishwasher (remove 2 screws at top left/right when door open that prevent tilting). Unplug and pull out dishwasher. Remove 4 screws on bottom rear panel and you will see tray underneath. Sponge out water and F2 error will reset.
However, you should not get water in this tray. There may be a faulty valve, pump or leaking pipe. Run diagnostic mode (described in user manual) to see if leak occurs during filling, draining or circulating.
