I have a dishwasher and it's leaking to the bottom tray when working.
I am not sure is it overfilling or it's a bottom door gasket.
I have already changed the main door gasket, the water inlet valve and the pressure sensor kit 5304504077(the new sensor at the bottom and this fancy white plastic thing).
Can anybody advise what can be done next?
Is it a bottom door gasket? I do not see any door bottom gasket for sale for this model.
Is water level like on the picture normal for this model ??
I am stuck, after spending around $500 for the parts and not fixing the issue :-((

I don't think it's sump, because the water is coming from the 'overflow channel' on the right side (first picture)
 
Finally: master came in and taught me about the simple thing: never test your dishwasher without the upper rack assembly. Once we put the upper rack into the dishwasher, everything started to be normal. No overfilling and as a result no leaking.

Ok, well you said when working, not testing. So they threw me off my observation.

Was it leaking before when you had the upper rack in place, in doing normal dishwasher loads? Before you replaced the water inlet valve and pressure switch?

I guess not.
The story is: I had to remove the dishwasher for cleaning. Before putting it back, I started to "test" it, running cycle without any racks inside. Noticed "leaking" and started to "repair". Changed three different parts and it was still "leaking". Then came professional who put the upper rack in, started the cycle and there was no "leaking". I put "leaking" in quotes because it was not something wrong, looks like it supposed to overflow without the upper rack by design, because the upper rack has this water tube which is connected to the wholes on the back of the dishwasher.
This is the story of education for the price of the new dishwasher :cry:
The good part out of it, my knowledge of the dishwasher and it's repairing is much deeper now :)
 
Ok got it!

Yes, both ranks need to be in place when testing and running.:)

Thanks for the update!
