Sharp Base Leak from Hoses or Sump

Dishwasher leaks water from underneath the cabinet, especially during filling or early wash.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Loose hose clamp on circulation pump, Cracked sump assembly, Perished hose to side tank or heat exchanger, Leaking inlet valve connection

Safety first: Disconnect power and close the water tap. Use towels to contain water.

Pull out the dishwasher: Carefully slide the Sharp dishwasher out of the cabinet to inspect the underside.
Run a short cycle: With panels removed, run a fill and early wash while observing for drips from hoses, sump, or side tanks.
Tighten and reseal: Tighten any loose hose clamps and replace any hoses that show cracks or bulges.
Replace sump if cracked: If the plastic sump assembly is leaking at a seam, replace the sump assembly and associated seals.
