How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the dishwasher and close the water tap immediately. Water and electricity are a dangerous combination.
- Pull out the unit: Carefully slide the dishwasher out of the cabinet to inspect the underside. Have towels ready.
- Inspect while filling: With panels removed and power restored, run a short cycle and observe for drips from the sump, hoses, circulation pump, and inlet valve. Then disconnect power again.
- Tighten and replace: Tighten any loose hose clamps. Replace any hoses that show cracks or bulges.
- Sump and pump seals: If water is seeping from the joint between the sump and tub or from the pump shaft, replace the sump gasket or circulation pump as appropriate.
- Test after repair: Reassemble and run a full cycle while monitoring for leaks before pushing the unit back into place.
