Water leak on fill cycle

The dishwasher model is actually SHU3012UC/U06, but that is probably irrelevant in this case. The water leak happens through the overflow hole (I am not sure if this is the right name) on the transparent plastic next to the blue assembly. The picture has already been posted on the board (thread http://www.fixya.com/support/t136177-no_water_in_dishwasher, picture http://www.fixya.com/Uploads/images/B1DBF8E.jpg). The dishwasher does not leak if I open the supply faucet, just a bit, and in that case it finishes without any other problem. It seams that something between the blue assembly and the tub cannot handle the higher flow, but did not find any obstacle. I disassembled the blue case and the hose and found nothing. I even removed the filter in the tub and tried it like that (did not put any dishes, of course), but it did not help. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

    I removed and inspected the pipe (I called it "hose" in the post) and found it quite clean. But it is worth to try. What is a "dishwasher cleaner"?

  • Marko Vukovic May 01, 2007

    Since I did not know what to do, I called a repairman. And of course, it was so simple I am now banging my head against the wall for not remembering it myself: if you have a "device" which can not handle a certail flow, but there is nothing in it to block the flow, that the problem must be in the flow! Meaning, the main valve had to be replaced.

This type of fill mechanism is a pain in the butt and causes many problems. a likely cause is a blackage in the transparant pipe on the rhs of you picture about 1 inch diameter or a little more. recommend you use a dishwasher cleaner 3-4 times as year

My Hot Point Dishwasher is leaking water. It was

Hi


Check for any kind of leaks around lower spray arm or soap door. Replace the arm if any cracks are found. Also make sure that door latches firmly, and the gasket is not cut.
The leak can also happen due to a broken fill valve. To check, take off the access panel from the front of the dishwasher so you can reach the fill valve attached to the metal bracket. Use a multimeter to check the continuity across the two black terminals at the top of the fill valve. If it reads 120 V, replace the fill valve. Make sure the thin filter screen between the bracket and fill valve is not blocked by debris.


Please post back for any further assistance.

I have a Model #DU960 Pwkq1 Whirpool dishwasher leaking

It is probally leaking from the vent assembly, rinse aid or soap dispenser. You will need to remove the door panel. Do this when the dishwasher is dry. Look closely for staining where the water is running down the inside of the door. Replace the gasket. Here is a couple links that should help with this.

Kenmore model 665 does not clean dishes

Hi


Thanks for using FixYa. First of all please check the Water temperature by using a thermometer inside the dishwasher to measure the water temp. It should be as close to 125 degree F to 140 degree F as possible. Now try using the temperature boost feature if your dishwasher is equipped with this cycle feature and check if this will help your wash ability issues.

Now check the Powder soap by making sure that you store your soap in a dry environment and it is not stale and clumping together. Possibly try a different detergent like a liquid or gel. Also, make sure the dishes are loaded properly, or dishwasher is not overloaded.

To check the proper filling dishwasher will fill with water up to and around the heating element. If water is more below the heating element, you may have low water pressure or a problem with the fill valve. Try & listen if it sounds like it is spraying the water around with enough pressure.
For low water pressure, try to clean the screen at the entrance of the fill valve, sometimes the fill valve can fail and not allow the proper water into the dishwasher and may need to be replaced. And, check the spray arm and pump cover for splits or leaks

Low water fills are a very common trouble maker with today's dishwasher.

Please do rate this solution and revert for further assistance.

Thanks

I have a kenmore dishwasher. While it was in the

hi...
If the cycle doesn't complete, check these....
Water-heating cycle Many dishwashers heat the wash and/or rinse water to a higher temperature, as the cycle calls for it. In these cycles, the dishwasher pauses after it has filled with water, waiting for the water to reach the pre-set temperature. What happens next, depends, as follows:

  • On some units, the pause is timed and the unit continues after the allotted time.


  • On others, the cycle can't continue until the water reaches the higher temperature. If you have this type of dishwasher and the water isn't being heated (say, because of a problem with the heating element or thermostat), after the unit stops at the heating cycle, it never continues. When you repair the heating-system problem, the "cycle problem" is fixed too.


Timer Timers don't often fail. But if every other part of the dishwasher seems to be working properly and the timer knob seems to be stuck in one place--doing one function continuously--the timer may be at fault. Dishwasher timers can't be repaired. If yours is defective, replace it.

if still it doesn't fix your problem then see whether any error codes are generated....
F1 Water heating fault, selected temperature not reached within 60 minutes · Incoming water temperature too cool
· Heating element burned out
· Thermostat defective F2 High water level · Plugged/Bad water pump
· Defective water inlet valve F3 Thermistor fault · Open thermistor
· Bad wiring to thermistor F4 Fault with water fill (only on machines with level-controlled fill)

Note: Lights blinking, pump running and controls dead indicates an over fill fault 1. Disconnect the power to the unit

2. Remove the lower access panels and check the tray under the dishwasher (you will probably find it is full of water)

3. Use a towel or a sponge to remove the water

4. There is a float that should stop the operation of the dishwasher and run the pump if water is in this tray. Check this pump to see if it is functional

5. Test the dishwasher

6. If there are no leaks from the dishwasher into the pan, check the drain hose under the sink

7. THE DRAIN HOSE MUST RUN UP TO THE TOP OF THE UNDERSIDE OF THE COUNTERTOP THEN DOWN TO THE DRAIN. (If the hose is not set up like this, water from the sink drain will flow into the dishwasher and overfill the tray

*Faults may vary by model. Use this as a general guide.
i think these details would definitely help you.....thank you...

Dishwasher won't fill on start

Check the following to address this issue.

Make sure you get water to the dishwasher. Check to see if the water shut-off valve (located under the sink) is open. If you get water to the dishwasher, but there is still no water inside during the fill cycle, the problem might be with a faulty water valve (located at the bottom of the dishwasher, behind the kick panel, on either side), in which case replace the water valve.

Dishwasher states there is a water leak when visually there isn't

Assuming that you have checked under the dishwasher for a leak (through a faulty sump gasket):
Since there is not actual leak, check the following:
-Confirm that the height of Drain Hose connection (sink-Drain Hose) rises greater than 20′ _minimum_ as it travels to the drain connection.
-If that does not solve the problen, it is probably a worn/broken Impeller of the Washing Pump.
Unless you are mechanicly incliend, a service call is probably the way to do. If you need further steps, please reply. Otherwise, after you ahve used the advise, please accept this solution.

Bosch Dishwasher SHU9925UC

Reset is probably a key combination, not sure which one though. Would have to refer to the manual. Unplugging it for a while should also reset it. With all the water cycling and overflowing some water may have gotten into an area of the dishwasher where it shouldn't have.

Here's a post
where the user had a problem that sounds a lot like yours. Read the last paragraph to see how they resolved it.

Here's another link for diagrams, manuals and how to guides for your unit.

Hope this helps. Let me know if I can be of further assistance.
