The first time the dishwarsher was leaking, the problem seemed to be a collection of soap scum and gunk getting in the way of it forming a proper seal. When I kinda-sorta cleaned off the gunk, and just managed to disturb it, it leaked worser. When I completely removed the gunk, it was water-tight for the next several months.
It started leaking again recently, and I tried cleaning it. But there wasn't much to clean, and the leak got worse again. I began to suspect the rubber seal that runs from side to side, and over the top. I thought perhaps it was too worn out, and no longer as springy as at first. So I applied the old maintenance monkey's trick of turning it over. Now the creased side faces in, and the flat side sticks out.
Nice and dry, now. Let's see how long that lasts.
