Usually urgent, not an emergency. Turn off the water supply under the sink and switch off the dishwasher’s breaker, then soak up the water — it soaks under flooring and cabinets. If water is reaching outlets or cords, switch off the breaker before touching anything.
Suds on the floor mean the wrong soap: hand dish soap or laundry detergent in a dishwasher foams up and pushes out past the door. Clear water at the front is usually the door gasket or a dishwasher that is not level; water from underneath, further back, points at a hose clamp, the pump seal or the inlet valve.
Wipe the rubber seal around the tub and look for tears or food stuck to it. A soiled or cracked gasket leaks at the bottom of the door [2].
A dishwasher tilted forward lets water reach the door. Level it side to side and front to back with the feet [1].
Items poking into the door seal or blocking the spray arms can throw water at the door; a clogged filter can make the tub overfill [1].
Remove the kick plate at the bottom. Water at the back or side points at a loose hose clamp, a cracked hose, or the inlet valve; water under the centre points at the pump seal or sump [1].
Call an appliance technician if water comes from under the centre (pump seal or sump) or from the inlet valve, or if the tub is cracked.
TODAYThe dishwasher is actively leaking soapy water onto the kitchen floor.

Open this Triage Profile ›For the Triage Profile, photograph the floor in front of the dishwasher with the water in view, and the kick plate area at the bottom. One clear photo in good light is enough; the Triage Profile says what it is, how urgent it is (emergency, today, this week or whenever), and which trade to call.
Scoop out the suds, wipe the tub, and run rinse cycles until no foam appears. Whirlpool has a page on exactly this [2].
