How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power and water supply immediately. Avoid running the dishwasher until the leak is resolved.
- Remove toe-kick panel: Inspect the base area with a flashlight for signs of dripping or dried mineral trails.
- Run a short test: With the unit pulled slightly out and panels off, run a quick cycle and watch for leaks from hoses, pump, or sump.
- Tighten clamps: Use a screwdriver to snug any loose hose clamps.
- Replace leaking parts: If you see water seeping from the circulation pump, drain pump, sump gasket, or inlet valve, replace the affected component.
