Okay guys I've searched and done a good deal of trouble shooting already but here is the problem.
My Whirlpool (Year 2007) dishwasher just out of the blue decided it wanted to start leaking the other day. We ran it (it ran fine) and when it was done we noticed a puddle of water on the left of the door out in the floor. The puddle was the size of a sheet of paper and cleaned up relatively easily. I took the bottom plate off to see if water was underneath the dishwasher but there wasn't any at all. Then I took the front face plate off of the dishwasher and decided to watch a cycle. The one thing I found odd was that where the door and the tub met there was a small opening on both sides where you could see inside into the tub.
Soon enough after turning the dishwasher on, water started splashing out of the hole on the left side and no water would splash out on the right side. (Picture Included). The water is only leaking from the splash and no other place is leaking. My first method to troubleshoot was run the dishwasher with some vinegar a couple of times. This seemed to help, but the problem is still there. I've also checked my vent to make sure that it wasn't clogged. I didn't see any problems there.
Does anybody have any ideas?
Lastly does anyone know of what an estimated repair bill might be for something like this? I'm just wondering if it's worth repairing or just going out and getting a new dishwasher.
