Dishwasher leaks from the side or rear, water visible under the machine

Safety first: Unplug the dishwasher and close the water tap immediately.

• Pull out appliance: Slide the dishwasher out of the cabinet to inspect the sides and rear.
• Remove base panel: Take off the toe-kick and base tray cover to see inside while running a brief fill test.
• Locate leak source: Look for drips from hoses, the circulation pump, drain pump, or tub joints.
• Tighten or replace: Tighten loose clamps, replace cracked hoses, or renew pump seals as needed.
• Test after repair: Run a full cycle while monitoring for any further leaks before pushing the unit back into place.
