Possible Causes
Damaged door gasket, Loose hose clamp on inlet or drain, Cracked wash tank or pump housing, Overfilling due to level sensor issues
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power and close the water supply. Mop up any standing water to prevent slipping.
- Inspect door gasket: Check the door seal for tears, flattening, or food buildup. Clean the gasket and door mating surface. Replace the gasket if damaged or hardened.
- Check hoses and clamps: Remove side or front panels and inspect all water connections. Tighten loose hose clamps and replace any hoses showing cracks or bulges.
- Examine tank and pump housings: Look for visible cracks, corrosion, or pinhole leaks around the tank seams and pump bodies. Replace defective components.
- Verify correct water level: If water is spilling over internal edges, check the level sensor and inlet valve for overfill issues and correct as needed.
- Test after repair: Run a short cycle while observing the machine with panels off to confirm that no leaks remain.
