Dishwasher leaks during rinse cycle




By ssmithbauer on May 01, 2009

" "
Okay, I replaced the float, float switch, and intake valve on my Kenmore dishwasher, model 665-17625690. I ran it through a cycle and it did fine until the rinse cycle then it leaked about a gallon of water on the floor. (I also noticed that it didn't open up the soap dispenser lid during the wash cycle, but I was using one of those little pouches and it was sticky so maybe the lid was stuck to that). The water leaking is the main problem I have been trying to fix. This seems to leak from the bottom of the door, like it's overflowing over the threshold? I also replaced the gasket around the door earlier, but it still leaks. Please HELP!!!

- Thanks to trydisndat for the suggestion. I ran the dishwasher through a cycle and it did start to leak again during the rinse. I pushed on the door, but it didn't slow it down any. I opened the door and the edges outside of the gasket were dry. Then I noticed that there is a soap trap near the top of the door on the inside. It was packed full of crusty old soap. I just thought it was an air vent or something. Well, after cleaning that out, it has stopped leaking. So technically the suggestion did not solve the problem, but I did solve it after trying the suggestion! Thanks again...

it sounds like you need to adjust the door latch so that the top of the door will close tighter. when in the rinse cycle try pushing door at top to see if leak stops. if that doesn't let you know something then you got me. you have changed all that i can think of. Good luck
