How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power and close the water tap. Tilt the dishwasher carefully and use towels to catch water.
- Pull out the dishwasher: Gently slide the unit out from under the counter to inspect the sides and base.
- Remove base cover: Lay the dishwasher on its back and remove the bottom panel to access the base.
- Identify leak source: Run a short fill cycle while observing the underside with a torch. Look for drips from hoses, pumps, sump, or side matrix.
- Tighten or replace hoses: Tighten any loose hose clamps. Replace cracked or swollen hoses.
- Replace leaking components: If the sump, pump housing, or side water matrix is cracked or leaking, replace the affected part with a Grundig-compatible component.
- Dry base and test: Dry the base completely, reassemble, and run a full cycle to confirm no further leaks.
