We have a Hobart dishwasher in our K of C hall that leaks every time fill water is going into the unit or as it rinses. I have some pictures of the control box, the unit itself, and the pipes and valves at the rear of the unit that are leaking that I will try to add using a comment later. I assume this is a simple fix of a gasket or even the valve itself but since I have never tore into one of these and our hall has no $$ I want to be sure before I go breaking anything causing the need for additional repairs...Thanks for any guidance.
If the brand is Watts, a rebuild kit is available from Hobart. Their part # 118270. It should contain the float with a red rubber gasket and a bonnet o-ring. Unscrew the cap, clean off the sealing surface and drop in the new float OR you might find a local Watts distributor and see if they carry the kit. That should solve the leaking issue. Let me know.

That is where...and it does look like it could be a vacuum breaker. It is a 90 degree piece that has a screw on cap and a rubber boot under the cap.
Do you know where the water is leaking from? Sounds like it might be coming from the vac. breaker at the top RH side of the machine. Please clarify so we can be of further assistance
