How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power and water supply immediately if a leak is suspected.
- Pull out the dishwasher: Carefully slide the unit out from under the counter to inspect the sides and bottom. Place towels or a tray to catch any water.
- Inspect base pan: Remove the lower access panel and look for standing water in the base pan. Sponge or vacuum out all water to reset the leak sensor.
- Check door gasket: Inspect the rubber gasket around the door opening for tears, deformation, or buildup. Clean with warm soapy water and replace if damaged or flattened.
- Examine hoses and clamps: Check the sump-to-pump hose, drain hose, and fill hose for drips or mineral trails. Tighten loose clamps and replace any cracked hoses.
- Inspect pump and sump: Look for cracks in the circulation pump housing or sump assembly. Replace the affected component if leaking.
- Test for leaks: With the unit still pulled out, run a short cycle while observing underneath for any new leaks before pushing it back into place.
