My dishwasher has leaked a smal amount of water from underneath

The unit may have developed a leak underneath and it may have a bad heater element. Pull the unit forward and put towels behind it on the floor, tilt it back 45 degrees to drain the water, wipe up the excess and put it back in position. Test it.

Clean gasket with clorox to remove any funk, and apply vasoline to gasket to improve seal. If you still have water leaking, you will need to replace the seal on the dishwasher. Should be able to order from an appliance parts dealer, or they may provide a univeral gasket that would fit your machine.

I hope this is what you are after.

Good luck.

A small amount of water is normal and is needed to keep the rubber gaskets from drying and leaking. If it still cleans good don't worry about it.

yes....most leave a little behind as the pump out hose is higher than the pump..

did you fix it yet ? check water line fittings underneath if you can pull a bit out washer to watch underneath when running to see where and when in cycle it leaks don't touch any electrical connections safety first LOL. disconnect power wipe dry and then ren it through a quick wash or other cycle and see.

there is a small float and micro switch behind the LHS cover which if activated will stop the water flow. you will need to remove the top cover(dont forget to unplug from the mains first !). then remove the side cover, you should find a clear plastic unit with a red float in side this maybe gumed up with scale. if so you should clean to allow the float to be free. this float activates a micro switch via a red arm. if this switch is stuck in this will stop the water flow. or the switch maybe faulty.

your leak might be caused by a faulty door gasket.as far as your other problem try turning off the power at breaker for 30 sec. to reset cpu

difficult to weld stainloess steel. another way is to drill out the hole slightly and fit a small nut and bolt with fibre washers
