Default Water leaking from bottom of door, Maytag

I have the same problem with my Maytag DWU8750AAX model dishwasher. I had sears service out and they charged me $115 to tell me that I must be using too much soap in the machine. It leaks even with no soap. I had already replaced the door seal and I have replaced the float and water level switch. My water pressure is pretty high and it fills and activates the switch to turn off the water valve in about 30 seconds. The level seems correct at just to the bottom of the heating element. I also leveled the dishwasher and now that seems to make it worse. More water is now in the tub but the standing level is the same, just now the same level all around. There is a lot of residue behind the door panel, especially around the dispenser area, but I cannot see any way for it to leak there other than the soap latch grommet, but it looks ok. The insulation in the door is soaked from half way down the door. I tried blocking the vent hole to see if it was spraying in there, but still leaks. Door seems to be sealing in the new door seal fine. Worst is on the right side of the door where it runs down the wires, but it leaks all the way across. There seems to be a foam seal at the bottome of the door and that is soaked all the way across, but can't tell how that is supposed to work. I have also checked my spray nozzles for clogs and the pump seems to be sealed, at least nothing obvious. I even tried lowering the water level a little more by cutting off an eighth of an inch off the actuator.
Any other suggestions?

Here is a few other things you can check that can cause the dishwasher to leak.

Check the gasket under the lower spray arm.

Check the upper and lower spray arms for cracks.
