How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power and water immediately to prevent electrical shock and water damage.
- Pull unit out: Carefully slide the dishwasher out from under the counter, protecting the floor with towels.
- Inspect while filling: With panels removed and a flashlight ready, briefly restore power and start a cycle to observe where water begins to leak. Then shut off power.
- Tighten and replace: Tighten any loose hose clamps. Replace cracked hoses, leaking inlet valves, or a cracked pump housing.
- Check base pan: Dry any water in the base pan and ensure the float switch moves freely.
