That sounds more like the installers fault than the dishwashers fault.
If you had problems with the door, it sounds as if it wasn't installed
correctly, or perhaps the openeing was too tight ( less than 24"). The
leaks are the plumbers fault.
I've installed dishwashers before. They are pretty straightfoward if
you read the instructions.
