how to stop a dishwasher from leaking (AEG Favorit)?

I have an AEG Favorit 44070 integrated dishwasher that leaks a little - and intermittently - from the front RHS. Taking the plinth off and looking underneath, there are some small holes (two on each side) at the angle where the door hinges and the two on the RHS - one of them esepcially - has a telltale limescale trail from it.

Any ideas why water would escape from these or what they are?

Thanks!

AEG AEG 44070 Kitchen Appliances, Dishwashers Stop Aeg Favorit

My AEG Oko Favorit was leaking small amounts of water on and off during the cycle, even though it was working okay. Tried all the hints, such as thouroughly cleaning, emptying salt dispenser etc. Then when I pulled it out, noticed the drainage hose had been squashed flat and had a split in it. A trip to the hardware for a $3 rubber hose joiner and $1.50 hose clamp fixed it in 5 minutes (I cut off last metre of hose and there was still plenty to reach outlet). Hooray!!

CK - OK will do tomorrow.

It's definitely one of the little holes that are at the bottom where the vertical bit between the adjustable legs goes up and meets the overhang above. Where do these holes lead to? How does the water get in there in the first place?

check that the bottom spray arm hole arn't blocked or if it is made of plastic check that the middle seam hasn't split at the end as this can force water under the front edge of the doors near the hinge
