Water leaking from dishwasher lg model lds5811ww

A very frustrating issue to be sure and these questions are not meant to be flippant but I do want to find out if there is actually more than one problem. Does your machine have water leaking even when it is not turned on? You mention that the dishwasher is not emptying - do you simply mean is it not emptying properly?

If water is coming out when the machine is not on, it means you have a leak at the water supply connection that only stops when you turn the water valve off. If the machine fills and immediately starts leaking water during the wash cycle, it means there is a gravity leak usually near the pump. If the water only leaks when the machine should be draining it, it means you have a leak somewhere in the drain line - a not uncommon problem. I've seen several instances where mice have chewed a small hole in the plastic drain line to get the water.

Can you give more specifics about when the water is coming out? Also, your make and model number would be helpful.

I will assume that you have cleaned gasket around door and at washer. Quite often a build up of scale at lower gasket surfaces is all that is causing leak.

Could be a Tub Seal leak my 1st choice. Could also be a leak caused by a cracked outer tub, issues from the hoses from the drain line connections to the drain pump, drain pump and or drain line.

Are you going to try to DIY the fix?

it means excessive r.p.m.'s of the wash motor during a wash cycle due to water leakage due to a leaking drain hose,the drain hose is not over 20" to the drain,a broken pump impeller,a damaged motor water sump seal

If you've checked everything, you will need to replace the impeller possibly.


Leakage error > Conditon: Excessive RPM of washing motor happened during wash cycle due to water leakage. Possible cause: Water leakage in hose connections,water is leaked by damages. The motor water seal leakage of sump assembly. The height of drain hose connection ( sink drain hose ) is not over 20". Impeller of the washing pump is worn away.

e1 is a leakage error. you will have to find where it is leaking from...crack hose .crack motor assy.. water must be leaking
The excessive RPM of Washing Motor happened during Wash cycle due to water leakage.
Water leakage in Hose connections. Water is leaked by damages. The Motor Water Seal leakage of Sump assembly. The height of Drain Hose connection (sink-Drain Hose) is not over 20 . Impeller of the Washing Pump is worn away.

This means that the outlet valve or the drain motor is faulty or their is a leak in the pipe between them and the machine.

Possible that you would have a tub seal leak if it is only noticable during spin cycle. Possible that it "drips" slightly while in agitation, but not enough to notice it. While in spin mode you have a lot more parts moving as well as a lot more water pressure on the seal itself. Pump could also be leaking, but highly doubtful since it would leak a constant amount at all times. Good Luck!!! Jim
