Possible Causes

Damaged door or hood gasket, Loose pump or plumbing fittings, Cracked wash or rinse arm, Overflow due to high water level

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power and water supply. Use caution on wet floors to avoid slips.

Step-by-step checks:

  • Inspect door/hood gasket: Look for tears, flattening, or gaps in the gasket. Replace if worn or damaged.
  • Check wash and rinse arms: Remove arms and inspect for cracks or missing end caps that can spray water toward door seals.
  • Examine fittings: Inspect pump unions, hose clamps, and plumbing connections for drips while the machine is running. Tighten or reseal as needed.
  • Verify water level: Ensure the tank is not overfilling (see E11). Overfill can cause water to spill out vents or door seams.

When to call a technician: Structural leaks from the tank or frame, or leaks at pump seals, typically require professional repair.
