Dishwasher leaks water from underneath the cabinet; puddle appears on the floor near the sides or back.

Safety first: Unplug the dishwasher and close the water tap. Be prepared for water when tilting the unit.

• Pull out appliance: Carefully slide the dishwasher out from under the counter to inspect the sides and back.
• Remove base panel: Take off the bottom panel to access the internal components. Dry any standing water.
• Run test cycle: With panels removed, run a short cycle and observe for drips from hoses, pump, heater, and tub seams.
• Tighten/replace hoses: Tighten hose clamps and replace any hoses that show cracks or bulging.
• Replace leaking components: If the circulation pump seal or heater body is leaking, replace the circulation pump assembly or heater assembly as appropriate.
