We purchased an expensive top of the line Fisher and Paykel 2 dryer dishwasher when we did a total Kitchen rehaul over 1 year ago. We have been noticing water sitting in the bottom of the bottom drawer that smells like sulfur dioxide and now see water is making its way through the maple cabinet to below the sink. None of the plumbing under the sink is leaking. We also purchased a Fisher Paykel gas oven/range at the same time. We notice the oven does not appear to close completely with a tight seal and the heat has started to melt the oven knob just above where the oven opens.

Hi


Thanks for using FixYa. If you have water leaks around the base of your dishwasher, you may be using a detergent that is causing too much suds. Cut back on the amount of detergent you use, and see if that makes a difference. Water that spills through the door vent is usually caused by improperly loading dishes. Leaks from the door itself may be caused by a faulty door gasket or door tightness adjustment. You should check the main tub seal, the door latch, the door gasket, the water-inlet valve, and the fill and drain hoses.

Also make sure the dishwasher is sitting level (you can adjust the front feet up or down, and many units have some type of levelers at the rear). Water under the dishwasher may be originating from a leaky hose or loose hose connection. Remove the lower front panel, and check the hoses. The pump seal may be defective, too; replacing this is a job for an appliance repairperson. An older dishwasher may corrode at the bottom, but this is fairly uncommon. If this is the case with your dishwasher, it's time for a new one.


Please do accept the solution if the issue is resolved or else revert for further assistance.


Thanks
