Water pools on the kitchen floor at the front of the dishwasher during or after a wash cycle. The splash shields at the lower front tub corners have cracked or broken away, allowing water to escape past the door seal.
Mineral deposits or moisture stains appear on the cabinetry surrounding the dishwasher, caused by repeated small water leaks at the tub corner where the splash shield has deteriorated.
Dishes come out poorly cleaned because spray water escapes through the damaged corner shields instead of being directed onto the dish racks inside the tub.
Broken or missing splash shields at the lower tub corners can prevent the door gasket from seating correctly, resulting in an imperfect door closure and water leakage.
💡 Pro Tip: How to Know Your Splash Shield Needs Replacing
Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:
⚠️ Water puddles or drips on the kitchen floor directly in front of the dishwasher after a wash cycle
⚠️ Stains or mineral deposits appearing on the base of surrounding cabinetry
⚠️ Visible cracks, missing sections, or broken tabs on the existing corner shields
⚠️ Reduced cleaning performance caused by spray escaping the tub instead of hitting dishes
🔍 Diagnostic Tip: Open the dishwasher door and inspect both lower front tub corners. If the small plastic/rubber shields are cracked, broken away, or completely missing, replace both shields at the same time to ensure a balanced seal. Also check the door gasket — worn gaskets and failed splash shields often occur together.
