Danby Slow Inlet Valve Seepage / Backflow

Water remains in the bottom between cycles, slowly seeping into the tub over time.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Water inlet valve not closing fully, Backflow from sink without check valve, High household water pressure

Safety first: Turn off power and water supply before servicing the inlet valve.

Confirm seepage: Sponge out all water, leave the dishwasher unused for several hours, and check if water has reappeared without running a cycle.
Check drain hose routing: Ensure a proper high loop or air gap to prevent sink backflow.
Replace inlet valve: If water is entering from the supply line with the unit off, replace the water inlet valve.
