Dishwasher

[petesgrayz]

Hi. when the dishwasher is on it lets out a quick burst of steam through the door, and I put it on at 10 o'clock the other night and it was still warm the next morning.
Any ideas what the problem is.

Is there water in it? Not being funny but now and again mine will start without the water drawing into it, the element then gets fearsomely hot and steam comes out (from the residual water in the bottom). I always make sure the water's going in now, before leaving it to do its stuff.

Thanx boxtops i'll check it out, but it seems to be working fine.

Ours does the same but is otherwise working fine. It seems that the door seal is not complete. Since the seal itself is OK I am assuming that the door has warped slightly and therefore doesn't close properly. Difficult to tell visually, but steam is certainly escaping.
