Frigidaire model LTF2940ES3 water leak from where I do not know, it looks like it is come from the door seal this happens when it spins. Is this door seal known to leak? Almost in everyload the clothes are getting ripped . I can also see a rubber trim mark on the clothes. We r so fed up of front loading ones. Is there any way to fix it.

Hello Dwight, thank you for your inquiry!

From my understanding you need helps installing the side seals on your Frigidaire dishwasher, FGCD2456. If your seals have been properly installed there may be another gasket causing the internal leak. Is it coming from the corner of the sides? This could be a possible issue with the lower door gasket or the door itself. I would check to make sure it is properly sitting on the hinges and not adjusted incorrectly. You may need to have a professional technician out to perform a proper diagnosis. Hope this help you with your repair. -Matt

It is so common that the drain leaks in many ways and is the most problematic fault in a washing machine. In all occasions it is important that your observation is most important and so is vital to the identification /rectification and solution. If you have noticed that water has leaked then as the drain hose pump/valve and fittings are located on the underside of the machine it is important that you look for possible leaks here. In some cases the drain hose would be clogged at the drain end to outlet of the house and so there will be back flushing resulting in overflow to the outside. Also the drain pump/valve can be clogged or the drain hose clamps can be loose on the grip which can all cause the leak to occur. Removing and cleaning the drain pump/valve, tightening of the hose is also very important. Also water can leak if there are gaps on the front door gaskets and must be checked but this will happen only during the cycle and not on the drain cycle end.

One of the reasons could be door seal or sump seal leaking. But if the leak only occurs at a particular time in the cycle then most likely the wash motor or drain motor seals.
Need the model number to make a more closer assessment.

Hi, Yup.. it's the door seal...
Here is a tip that I wrote about dishwashers and them leaking.

Leaking Dishwasher

I think you most likely have a basin Float water level sensor that is no working correctly, the door seal is not water proof, if the water level gets over the lip of the basin it will leak on the floor.

my washer had same problems, turned out to be door lock switch. around $75.00. Washer 2 years old. Questioning quality also.

frigidaire models usually leak water at the top of the door and water enters in the door through door latch.2 fix this u can insert a double sided sticking tape behind the tub seal at the top so that door top sits tight against the top part of seal.
also u can remove the front door panel 2 c if water ia jumping out of tub at the bottom at lhs and rhs corners.if thats the case pull out the door seal and insert it back stretching it little bit and leaving some of it extended at both bottom corners so that it can stop the water from splashing out.

hi there,
dishwasher leaking might be due to either of these causes, check these:

Main tub seal
Note… If the main motor of your dishwasher is mounted vertically, beneath the center bottom
of the dishwasher, the following instructions probably apply to you.
But if your motor is mounted horizontally, the pump isn't serviceable--you need to replace the
entire pump and motor assembly.

The main tub seal is beneath the drain impeller. It prevents the water in the dishwasher from
leaking out near the shaft of the motor. To get to the seal, which is inside the dishwasher,
remove the:

* Lower rack
*Spray arm
* Spray arm support
* Wash/drain impellers

Then try the seal out of its housing and replace it.

Door gasket or seal
Over time, door gaskets and seals harden and lose their ability to seal properly.
You can't repair the seals. You need to replace them if they've begun to leak.

Water-inlet valve
The water-inlet valve, itself, seldom leaks. But, the water-supply line from the house and the
rubber tube leading from the valve to the inside of the dishwasher may leak. Tighten
or repair/replace these as necessary.

The water-inlet valve could mechanically stick open. When that happens, the water continues
to flow into the dishwasher, which then floods your kitchen. Turn off the water supply to the
dishwasher, and replace the valve.

Hoses
Behind the lower access panel on your dishwasher are several rubber or plastic hoses. If the
leak appears at a connection, try a new clamp. If that doesn't work, replace the hose.

I have the same washer and it will wash and drain but not spin. I replaced the door switch and the problem was solved.
