Hi
Thanks for using FixYa. If your
dishwasher leaks, check these:
Main
tub seal
Note… If the
main motor of your dishwasher is mounted vertically, beneath the center bottom
of the dishwasher, the following instructions probably apply to you. But if
your motor is mounted horizontally, the pump isn't serviceable--you need to
replace the entire pump and motor assembly.
The main tub
seal is beneath the drain impeller. It prevents the water in the dishwasher
from leaking out near the shaft of the motor. To get to the seal, which is
inside the dishwasher, remove the:
Lower rack
Spray arm
Spray arm
support
Wash/drain
impellers
Then pry the
seal out of its housing and replace it.
Door gasket or
seal
Over time,
door gaskets and seals harden and lose their ability to seal properly. You
can't repair the seals. You need to replace them if they've begun to leak.
Water-inlet
valve
The water-inlet
valve, itself, seldom leaks. But, the water-supply line from the house and the
rubber tube leading from the valve to the inside of the dishwasher may leak.
Tighten or repair/replace these as necessary.
The
water-inlet valve could mechanically stick open. When that happens, the water
continues to flow into the dishwasher, which then floods your kitchen. Turn off
the water supply to the dishwasher, and replace the valve.
Hoses
Behind the
lower access panel on your dishwasher are several rubber or plastic hoses. If
the leak appears at a connection, try a new clamp. If that doesn't work,
replace the hose.
Please do rate the solution
if the issue is resolved or else revert for further assistance.
Thanks

If the dishwasher is leaking water the water inlet valve might be defective. If the water inlet valve sticks open, it will allow water to fill the dishwasher continuously. Some customers report that they see clean water filling the bottom of the dishwasher after it's been sitting all night or for a couple of days. If this happens, turn off the water that is supplying the dishwasher. This is normally a valve under the kitchen sink. Then, replace the water inlet valve, it cannot be repaired. The water valve needs at least 20 lbs pressure to shut off properly. If your water pressure is to low replacing the valve may not solve the problem.

If the dishwasher is leaking water, the center wash arm assembly might be cracked or split. This can allow a jet of water to spray toward the door seal, causing a leak. If a crack or split in the center wash arm assembly is found, replace it. There isn't any glue that will hold the part together inside the dishwasher.

If the dishwasher is leaking water the lower wash arm assembly might be defective. If the lower wash arm has a crack or split on the end, it can force water to spray directly toward the lower part of the dishwasher door. Then, the water can be forced under the door and onto the floor. Check the lower wash arm for any cracks or splits and replace it if necessary. Also make sure the screws are tight in the wash arm support. If the screws are loose, water can spray out the side of the pump and cause a leak.

If the upper wash arm assembly is broken or cracked it can cause water to spray very forcefully toward the seams of the door, causing a leak.

Every dishwasher door has a door seal. If the dishwasher is leaking water, it might be that the door seal is defective or worn out. Try closing the dishwasher door on a dollar bill and see if the door seal is making good contact all the way around the door. If not, replace the door seal. If the door seal is good or has been replaced and there is still a leak check the door hinges. If the hinges are bent the door will not close properly and the hinges will need to be replaced.

Hi
When the Dishwasher won't fill you'll need to
check for the water inlet hose, the water inlet valve and the float switch
assembly. When the water fills your dishwasher, a float rises along with it. As
the float reaches a certain threshold level, it shuts off the flow of water,
thereby preventing a leak. Sometimes the float can get stuck in the wrong
position in your dishwasher, and it can prevent your dishwasher from filling.
Sometimes it can happen due to float valve and on other occasions due to float
switch. Inspect the water hose coming to the dishwasher for any blockages. If the
hose is not clogged then check the water inlet valve for any clogs, if the
water will not even fill for few seconds then certainly the water inlet valve
is bad and should be replaced. You can also use a multimeter to check
continuity on inlet valve. If you don't get any value on the multimeter then
you'll need to replace the water inlet valve assembly. However, if the valve is
fine then the float switch assembly should be replaced. Hope this helps...
Please post back if you need more information.
