Hope this is the right forum :(

I have a 5yr old F&P Nautilus 920 that is being naughty and leaking. It used to leak through the handle, which I put down to a stuffed seal.

So I bought a new genuine seal, installed it ... and now it leaks from elsewhere. When running, a slow trickle of water appears where the arrow points in the photo below. This eventually pools on the bottom of the DW and sets off the anti-flood protection.

I can't see how water is getting past the seal?

I've put silastic under the metal strips that hold in the seal, the seal is flushly installed, the door latches shut okay as far as I can tell. I'm lost as to why it leaks there. I can see that some water is getting past (water on the outside of the seal, see second photo), but I don't know how. The only dicey bit is the curve which has some weird plate that screws in, but I can't see how my installation is any different to that of F&Ps ...

Any help much appreciated! I'm tearing my hair out ...

Is it possible that some drain or hole is blocked somewhere and causing a pressure build up? Have you called F+P and explained the fault .... not sure what their customer service is like, but if it is anything like Samsung's then maybe you wanna hang onto that hair of yours .... it may be needed to mop up the water
