How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Immediately turn off power and water to the dishwasher to prevent electrical hazards and further water damage.

Step-by-step checks:

Remove toe-kick: Take off the lower front panel and inspect with a flashlight while running a short cycle.
Identify leak source: Look for drips from the sump, pumps, hoses, or inlet valve. Mineral trails often show the leak path.
Tighten connections: Gently tighten hose clamps and compression fittings that are seeping.
Replace damaged parts: If you see cracks in the sump, hoses, or pump housings, replace the affected component.
Dry base pan: Mop up any water in the base pan and ensure the leak sensor (if present) is dry.

Warning: Do not operate the dishwasher until the leak is fully resolved.

Dishwasher leaks water from underneath; water appears on the floor beneath the unit.
