New Whirlpool Model# Wdf310paa Started Leaking From Front Door On 2nd Wash.

We just installed a new Whirlpool Model# WDF310PAA dishwasher today, and on the second wash, we found mid-cycle that it was leaking from under the front door in several places. (We hadn't sealed it in yet, so were lucky to spot it.) Any idea why this would be happening with a brand new dishwasher? I read some forums and saw notes about non-dishwasher detergent, and we use what they recommend. No idea!
