How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power and water immediately to prevent further leakage and electrical hazards.

Step-by-step checks:

Remove toe-kick panel: Access the base pan and inspect for standing water. Sponge out all water and dry thoroughly.
Inspect leak sensor: Locate the float or electronic leak sensor. Ensure it moves freely and is not corroded or stuck in the triggered position.
Check common leak points: Examine the sump gasket, circulation pump seal, drain pump, and all hose connections for signs of drips or mineral trails.
Run a visual test: With panels off and a flashlight ready, run a short cycle and watch for any slow leaks.
Correct and retest: Tighten clamps, replace cracked hoses, or replace leaking pumps/gaskets as needed, then retest.

Warning: Do not defeat or bypass the leak sensor; it protects against flooding and electrical shock.
