Possible Causes

Leaking circulation pump seal, Loose or cracked drain hose, Cracked sump assembly, Leaking water inlet connection

Safety first: Turn off power and water immediately.

Remove toe-kick: Inspect with a flashlight while running a short cycle (use caution around live parts) to locate the leak source.
Tighten connections: Tighten hose clamps at the pump, sump, and inlet valve. Replace any hoses that are cracked or swollen.
Check pump seal: Look for water dripping from the circulation pump shaft area. Replace the pump or seal kit if leaking.
Inspect sump: If the plastic sump is cracked or leaking at seams, replace the sump assembly.
