Dishwasher leaks water from underneath; puddle forms under the machine.

Safety first: Disconnect power and close the water tap immediately. Be prepared for water when moving the appliance.

• Step 1 – Pull out and inspect:
  • Carefully pull the dishwasher out of the cabinet.
  • Look for obvious drips or water trails from hoses or components.
• Step 2 – Remove base cover:
  • Lay the dishwasher on its back (protect the floor).
  • Remove the base cover to access the underside.
• Step 3 – Identify leak source:
  • Reconnect power and water briefly and run a fill test while observing (only if safe to do so).
  • Look for leaks at the sump seal, pump connections, hoses, and water matrix.
• Step 4 – Repair:
  • Tighten or replace leaking hose clamps.
  • Replace cracked hoses or plastic components (sump, matrix, pump housing).

Any leak into the base can trigger E15; fix leaks thoroughly before reinstalling the dishwasher.
