I have seen leaks from around the heating element nuts .
Hello Mileshjr,
I don't disagree... Nice looking unit...
What you have to do is assess the LEAK(s)...
and do a cost/benefit analysis...
If indeed the parts are available (they seem to be)

Then all you have to do is find the cause of the
LEAKS and repair them...
Mine turned to be rusted body panels...
(not much you can do there... Unless you
find a complete DONOR... Not unlike restoring cars...
(the labor of love)...

I will confess the new PRO Series "QUIET" models
are VERY quiet... and sooo... pretty I had to REMODEL
the ENTIRE KITCHEN... (no savings there).
Hope this saves $$$$

SOURCE: Garbage Disposal backing up in dishwasher
Most dishwasher have a check valve at the pump to prevent water from backing into the dishwasher. If the pump is electric there is a rubber flat that may be gone or not working properly. If that is the case you need to replace the pump. If the pump is part of the motor assembly then the pump and motor will need to be replaced. One other thing to make sure of is that you have the drain hose looped to the top od the dishwasher and then to the disposal conection. Its called a drain loop and all dishwashers should have it. Good Luck

The gasket at the bottom of the door where air vents in to allow for "drying" gets water splash that differs depending upon what is loaded in front of it. For instance, my dishwasher (Frigidaire PLD2855RFC1) leaks only when a certain spoon or something is loaded in a certain position or a pan is creating too much basksplash. That sort of dynamic simply excapes the repair types in a lot of cases. And the problem leak does not occur when the technicial tests it when the machine is empty.
You need to call your local repair folks and tell them to get on their "support service website" (that only they can get on) and look up Electrolux bulletin DW 071 which speaks to this issue. The offending and poorly designed "gasket" has quietly been redesigned and supposedly fixes this problem. Too bad they don't tell us about it. My serial number fell right in the middle of the units produced with this bad design. I will never again buy a Frigidaire of any type - ever. Nor will I deal with Coos Bay Area Appliance Store again. They all spoon fed me all kinds of accusations that it was installed wrong, unlevel, whatever. None solved my problem. THEY WILL SUFFER REVENUE LOSSES because of this. Good luck to you.
SOURCE: Dishwasher suddenly started leaking on floor?!
I have leaking from the screws holding the heating element of the same model dishwasher. The part is called heater nuts. I don't know if I need to replace the entire heating element assembly or just replace the nuts.
Any help is appreciated.
SOURCE: my fridgidaire ultra quiet 3 dishwasher leaks...
a common place to leak on these machines is through the heater leads. run the machine w/lower panel off and see where its coming from , if its dripping down the heater leads, chances are the 2 nuts that secure them are broken and need replacing

There are a couple reasons water may be leaking out the door of a dishwasher.
1. The water is most likely coming out the bottom of the door where there is no rubber seal.
2.
The rubber seal is around the door jam on top and both sides and not on
the bottom. This means if the dishwasher has to much detergent in it
the soap suds push only the water higher than the front edge of the
wash basin and out the bottom of the door where there is no seal!
3.
Fill only the soap cup that can close for the secondary wash. The open
cup is a pre-wash and mostly not needed unless the food is baked
on.This just wastes money to fill both of them every time.
4. And if you are using liquid detergent you only need half the amount from the powdered soap!
try less soap. Remember to much soap too can cause the water overflow.
5. And the last would be that the drain is clogged and caused a back up large or small and then the overflow!
is there water in the bottom when the wash is done?
Soap is usually the culprit, not that there can't be a leak in an old drain or water supply hose!
Go with the soap idea first!
Let me know how you are!
How old is the washer ?
Please remember to leave a rating before you go!

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.
