Started washing leaking on next floor
See this causes and use the common sense. God bless you
Dishwasher Not Leveled
This is a very common reason for a leaking dishwasher especially
if this was a new installation. The framing in a dishwasher is made up
of mostly thin sheet metal, so if it is not sitting flat and level
things can get distorted very easily. Watch the video on leveling your dishwasher.
Door Seal
This is not very common in most dishwashers. To check this look
for rips and distortion of the seal. If it is ripped or distorted you
will need to replace.
Dispenser Seal
This is a more common place for a leak to develop. This is easy
to check, remove the front panel and carefully inspect around the seal
for water dripping or stainage. If any is found replace the dispenser gasket.
Water Inlet Valve
Usually it is the connection to the water inlet valve that ends
up leaking. Check this connection ( there is usually some sort of
adaptor between the valve and supply hose) for leaks. Check the
connection on the back of the water inlet valve also. Ocassionaly a
water inlet valve will leak around the solenoid in this case replace the water inlet valve.
Drain / Circulating Pump
Some dishwashers have separate drain and circulating pumps.
Some use one pump to serve both purposes. In either case you will need
to check the housings for leaks along with all the connections. Some
dishwashers have a seal that leaks down into the pump . This is easy and
inexpensive to replace. Follow the tutorial on replacing the pump.
Door Latch
The door latch
can become loose or misalinged. Check both the striker and the latch.
To adjust the latch you will need to remove the front panel and adjust switch until properly aligned.
Door Hinges
They can cause problems, but this usually only happens from
opening a heavy load of dishes on the door. Occassionaly a broken spring
or cable occurs. You will need to remove the toe kick and maybe the front panel to inspect.

Look at your manual, usually available on net for reading or downloading. Blink lights are often used to code out a problem with various combinations and repetition rates to indicate trouble code number for look-up in manual.

HI.This is a drain issue. check the following areas for faults.
1. Air gap / Drain hoses
If there is an air gap (located in the sink, near the faucet), check to see if it is clogged. Unscrew the top cap and see if there is anything blocking inside. Note: If there is no air gap installed, the dishwasher might not drain properly.
If the drain hose is clogged, the dishwasher would not drain. If there is an air gap installed, it is very common that a hose going from the air gap into the garbage disposer is clogged. Remove and clean the hose. Make sure to reattach the hose before starting the dishwasher.
Note: If you recently had a garbage disposer installed, it is common to overlook removing the drain plug.
Ok, if the hoses are ok and not clogged, this will confirm a major issue that concerns the drain assembly or pump impeller.
replace the pump(drain) if found to be faulty.
