I just got a new whirlpool dishwasher and it is leaking water from under the cabinet when operating. When I took off the small panel on the bottom of the DW I could see a drip coming from above somewhere in the rear near the metal bars or braces.

Adding this though may be a little late. Some dishwasher have a small arm in the top of the dishwasher. The outside of the hose going to it will gradually erode and water will leak off and on until it finally just leaks all the time. Pull out the dw and check under the insulation for the hose. You should be able to follow it from the pump to the top. Then go to appliance store and order part if not in stock. Hopes this helps.

Hi.

The parts' arrangement is similar to several Whirlpool model. The pump motor is located under the bottom place and it is accessed removing the front kick panel (in front at the bottom).

Here a movie showing the procedure on a Whirlpool similar to your Blanco. I also tried to describe the procedure below. Check also the parts diagram for your model at the end of this comment. Sometimes it is not necessary to lean the appliance on one side, depending on how you can reach pump motor and hoses. See movie and description.



To remove the old motor you need to:

1. Disconnect power.
2. Move appliance forward.
3. Disconnect drain and inlet hoses and remove water from tub (if any).
4. Remove baskets or anything else from inside the machine.
5. Remove spray arms and remove the assembly at the bottom of the machine.
   
6. Put some clothes or towels on floor and lean the machine on one side.Water will leak out, the clothes will help here.
7. Take the kick panel in front off.
8. Undo the screws that hold the pump to the machine cabinet.
9. Use a flat screwdriver to loose the clip holding the hoses. Loose the clip but do not open it completely (it will help later).
   
10. Pull off the two hoses.
11. Disconnect the electrical connector to the pump
    
12. Lift the pump motor and pull it out from cabinet.

To put in new pump.

1. Insert the two hoses on new pump.
2. Set the clips.
3. Put the pump motor in place inside the cabinet.
   
4. Arrange hose and pump motor correctly and put screws back.
   
5. Reconnect the wiring connector.
6. Lift up the appliance.
7. Put back spray arms and internal assembly.
   

Before putting on the front panel:

1. Connect power and test for leaks.
2. Disconnect power and fix any leak present (adjust hoses).
3. If there is no leak put panel back.
4. Set back the appliance and connect power.

Always observe strictly health and safety prescription. Disconnect power before performing any maintenance. Beware of panel's sharp edges, particularly when removing kick panel and accessing parts in the tight space under the bottom of the tub.

Hi

The issue is with the water not draining as something might be blocking the drain pump assembly thus the water is leaking. To solve this issue you'll have to take the front lower access panel out and then clean the drain pump assembly completely, also clean the impeller and chopper assembly located at the bottom of the unit. After this is done the issue should be resolved, if not then check the float switch mechanism and make sure that is fine. Hope this helps...please post back for further assistance.

hi friend,

Tightening the fittings
1. Step 1 Remove the service panel that runs along the front of the dishwasher just below the door. If it is screwed in place, remove the screws with a screwdriver. If the panel hangs on hooks, pull the panel out and swing it up to remove it from the hooks.
   
2. Step 2 Check the end of the drain hose that connects to the dishwasher. If it's leaking, tighten the clamp with a screwdriver.
   
3. Step 3 Check the drain hose connection to the kitchen sink drain. Again, if it's leaking, tighten the clamp with a screwdriver.
   
4. Step 4 Check for leaks around the water-inlet valve. If necessary, use an adjustable wrench to tighten the compression fitting that connects the water-supply line to the valve. If the fill hose is leaking, replace the spring clamp that is on the hose with a worm-drive hose clamp. It produces more clamping pressure. Use adjustable pliers to compress the spring clamp so you can pull the clamp and hose off the valve. Remove the spring clamp from the hose. Buy a worm-drive clamp at your hardware store, then install it and tighten it with a screwdriver.
   
Leveling the machine
5. Step 1 Remove the front access panel (see step 1, "Tightening the fittings"). This will give you access to the dishwasher's adjustable feet.
   
6. Step 2 Open the door completely and remove the bottom dish rack.
   
7. Step 3 Unscrew the dishwasher from the kitchen countertop so the dishwasher can move freely as you adjust the feet.
   
8. Step 4 Check to see if the dishwasher is level side to side. Place a small level inside the dishwasher so it's sitting on the bottom pan and facing parallel to the front lip of the dishwasher. If the dishwasher is not level, use adjustable pliers to turn one of the dishwasher's front feet up or down until you hit level.
   
9. Step 5 Check to see if the dishwasher is level front to back. Turn the level perpendicular to the door, and place it on one of the bottom ledges that run along the side of the cabinet. Check the level again. If the dishwasher isn't level, use your adjustable pliers to turn the back feet up or down until you hit level.
   
10. Step 6 Reattach the dishwasher to the countertop and reinstall the front access panel.
    
Fixing a leaking door
11. Step 1 Inspect the door gasket. As it ages, the gasket can crack or become hard, preventing it from sealing completely.
    
12. Step 2 If the gasket appears solid, adjust the door latch so the door seals tightly. Loosen the screw that holds the door latch to the cabinet. Push the latch in slightly and retighten the screw. Test the door and readjust the latch if necessary.
    
13. Step 3 Replace the gasket if water continues to leak after you've tightened the latch. Most gaskets are held by compression in a groove on the door or on the dishwasher cabinet.
    
14. Step 4 Pull the old gasket out of its groove, using adjustable pliers (see illustration). Take the gasket to an appliance store to get a replacement.
    
15. Step 5 Soak the new gasket in warm water to soften it, then press it into the groove. Start at the top, then work your way down the sides and across the bottom.

• If your dishwasher has an air gap, which prevents dirty water from re-entering the machine, clean it regularly. Otherwise, it could overflow and leak.
• Always use detergent that's made for your dishwasher. Dishwashing liquids and other soaps can create excessive suds that will leak from the machine.
• Occasionally, the main seal between the dishwasher cabinet and the pump fails. If your dishwasher leaks at this spot, have a professional replace the seal.

Water is being forced out under the bottom door seal. Is the lower spray arm melted on the bottom? Or is there something directing the water flow toward the bottom of the tub instead of up toward the dishes?

Step 1 Remove the front access panel (see step 1, "Tightening the fittings"). This will give you access to the dishwasher's adjustable feet.

Step 2 Open the door completely and remove the bottom dish rack.

Step 3 Unscrew the dishwasher from the kitchen countertop so the dishwasher can move freely as you adjust the feet.

Step 4 Check to see if the dishwasher is level side to side. Place a small level inside the dishwasher so it's sitting on the bottom pan and facing parallel to the front lip of the dishwasher. If the dishwasher is not level, use adjustable pliers to turn one of the dishwasher's front feet up or down until you hit level.

Step 5 Check to see if the dishwasher is level front to back. Turn the level perpendicular to the door, and place it on one of the bottom ledges that run along the side of the cabinet. Check the level again. If the dishwasher isn't level, use your adjustable pliers to turn the back feet up or down until you hit level.

Step 6 Reattach the dishwasher to the countertop and reinstall the front access panel.

your going to have to take apart the bottom panel of the dishwasher. If there isn't any screws it should slide off. After that, move the strip of insulation, now look at the power. There should be 3 wires, seperate those from other wires.(note-turn breaker off at box before doing this)now when you finish that, go in to the cabinet next to the dishwasher. The one under the kitchen sink. Find the drain line from the dishwasher and dissconnect that. while you are in that cabinit look for the water supply to the dishwasher and shut off and dissconnect. Now open the front door to the dishwasher and unscrew the sides and top off. Close door and pull gently to get full access to all the seals.
