How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power and water immediately to prevent electrical hazards. Dry the surrounding floor.
Step-by-step checks:
- Pull out the dishwasher: Carefully slide the unit out of the cabinet to inspect the underside.
- Visual inspection: Remove side and bottom panels. Run a short fill cycle while watching for drips from hoses, pump, heater, or sump.
- Tighten or replace clamps: If a hose connection is leaking, tighten or replace the clamp.
- Replace damaged parts: If the sump is cracked or the pump seal is leaking, replace the sump assembly or pump as appropriate.
- Check base tray: Dry any water in the base tray and ensure the anti-flood float moves freely.
After repairs, run a full cycle while monitoring for any new leaks.
