Could a failing Lower Door Seal Strip cause the BOSCH 300 SERIES DISHWASHER to have symptom: Leaking From Door?

This elastomer strip at the bottom of the door panel acts as the primary barrier for water at the tub's floor level. Over time, the rubber becomes brittle or accumulates debris, preventing a flush contact with the tub base and allowing water to seep through. Replacing this restores the compressive seal necessary to contain the water during high-flow wash cycles.

Could a failing Door Gasket (Tub Seal) cause the BOSCH 300 SERIES DISHWASHER to have symptom: Leaking From Door?

The large perimeter seal provides a compression barrier around the sides and top of the door. If the gasket becomes flattened or develops micro-tears from years of opening and closing, it can no longer maintain the required tension against the door panel. This results in leakage that typically presents as water running down the sides of the door and into the base pan.

Could a failing Lower Spray Arm cause the BOSCH 300 SERIES DISHWASHER to have symptom: Leaking From Door?

Mechanical failure of the spray arm often occurs at the ultrasonic weld seam. When the seam splits, it generates a 'jet' of water directed horizontally rather than vertically. If this jet hits the door seal interface directly, it overcomes the seal's design limits for splashing, forcing water past the gasket even if the gasket itself is in good condition.
