My dishwasher is leaking water when it is running

run it with no soap. if you get no leaks then cut back on your soap. you may need to run washer a few cycles to get rid of excess soap.

see this causes:
Main tub seal
if your machine is mounted horizontally the pump must be replace.
but if you have vertical machine follow this step:remove the lower rack+spray arms+spray arms support+wash /drain impeller see the diagram, then replace the seal.
Door gasket or seal
replace
Water-inlet valve
water inlet valve, leaking , replace.
Hoses
replace the clamps+hoses.
see the diagrams.
God bless you

Hi,

Here is a tip that I wrote about dishwashers and them leaking.

I don't know how old this dishwasher is but the symptom your describing sounds like the ceramic water seal on the bottom of the impeller assy but above the motor has failed. When the seal fails it allows water to run though the motor and then the bearings in the motor fail. Once water starts running though a dishwasher motor they are pretty much shot. The reason for this is that the leak starts out slow and it leaks for a long period before you ever see the water under the dishwasher. So by the time you see the leak water has been going through the pump / motor assy for weeks or months. By that time the service technicians only option is to replace the motor pump assy.

crack in water inlet valve or a pin hole in the hose going from the valve to side of tub spraying water where you see it. You have a holein someting. You need to trace it back to its sourse. When you say "water is running"im guessing thats when its filling with water not just washing.

Sounds like the door gasket is leaking allowing water to come out

You have a bad water valve. When the unit is off, the valve should seal and the water should not flow. Something has gotten in the valve and is keeping the needle up or the diaphram in the valve has deteriorated. replace the water valve and you will be fine part#425458 @ $16.00

Griz, check the vent and see if you have bunch of gunk thats collecting water in it. Sometimes the spray arms are cracked and direct water into the vent. If this happens you will have leaking down the center of the door. Catriver...post back
