If my dishwasher only leaks from the bottom of the door when the main cycle starts, could a bottom seal replacement be a good place to start? The other three side (Left, right and top) gaskets look great, but I get this slow leak from under the door.

Hi Zachary,
Thank you for your question. If the dishwasher is leaking from the bottom of the door, you should replace the bottom door seal, part number PS11755651. We hope this helps!
Should there be any water coming from under the door during running of the dishwasher? Just replaced bottom door seal (nothing appeared wrong with the old one once I got it off). While the outer door was still off, I ran it and there is a bottom tray that fills with bubbles and water. Is that supposed to happen? What else should I replace?
For model number MDB8949SAM1
Hello Zachary, thank you for your inquiry. Based on the description that you have provided, we would recommend checking the door latch. If it is not loose or damaged, then replace the door seal, part number PS12348515, to fix the issue. We hope that helps!

Pulled dishwasher from under counter, attached link to spring, hooked spring back into frame/chassis, threaded link through pulleys, attached other end of link onto door, reinstalled dishwasher under counter. All's well. Note-I purchased an extra link anticipating that the other one will fail. They're cheap enough.
Caviat: The actual repair is less than 15 minutes, but I spent a lot of time playing with it before I figured out it was that easy and fast. You don't need to remove the dishwasher from the counter to do this. And it will probably help to look at the new part closely so you can understand where the retainer clip is to press it and release the old pump.
First remove the water from the dishwasher pan that would not drain with a wet/dry vac. Otherwise the water will all drain on the floor when you remove the pump. Then remove the two screws on the kickplate on the front of the unit below the door. Remove the kickplate/maintainence access cover. The drain pump is on the right about 8 inches in. Using two hands you grasp the drain pump with your right hand and use the left hand to push the retaining clip down. Then the drain pump will rotate 1/4 turn counterclockwise and can be removed without pulling the dishwasher out. There is likely to be some water leak out that was traped in the pump housing that you can not reach with the vac. Disconnect the wire. Connect the wire to the new pump, put it in place and 1/4 turn clockwise to install it. Replace the kickplate and you're done.
Rather than remove the pump assembly - as an earlier post had done - I pulled the entire dishwasher out and laid it down on the floor. This allowed easy, direct access to the motor (that was the hard, messy part). From this point it was easy. Unplug the wiring, remove the retaining bolt, rotate the motor off the mounting brackets and pull it out. Then put the new one in. That was the easy part (about 15 minutes). The entire job took 2-and-a-half hours, most of which was taken in disconnecting, cleaning up and reconnecting the dishwasher. It's much quieter now.
