Dishwasher Leaking
​
Due to newer appliances including smart features, they are harder to repair without the knowledge of a professional. Don’t stress and contact us at Arrowhead Appliance! We will come to diagnose your problem today.
If your dishwasher is leaking from the door, under the cabinet, or onto the kitchen floor, Arrowhead Appliance Repair can help. We are a family-owned company, in business since 2016, based in Independence, Missouri. Call or text 816-248-1910, or email service@arrowheadappliance.com.
Dishwasher leaks have a few common causes. Food, a torn gasket, or a door that does not close squarely can let water escape at the front. Too much detergent, or detergent that is not meant for dishwashers, can create a mound of suds that pushes water out of the door. A float switch that sticks can allow the tub to overfill. Water under the unit often comes from a loose or split drain hose, a loose clamp, a leak at the water inlet, or a failed pump seal or tub. The leak you see on the floor is not always from the spot that looks wet, which is why a technician may need to run a test cycle and inspect the connections.
Stop the dishwasher as soon as you notice a leak. If you can reach the dishwasher's water supply valve under the sink, turn it off. Wipe up standing water so it does not damage the flooring. Check the door gasket for crumbs or an obvious tear, and make sure nothing is keeping the door from closing. Use only the amount and type of detergent the manufacturer recommends. You can also look under the sink for a hose that has slipped or a clamp that is obviously loose, but do not pull the dishwasher out or disconnect lines if that is awkward or if water is still present. Do not take the unit apart, and do not work on electrical parts.
If the dishwasher leaks again when you run it, if water is coming from under the cabinet, or if you are not sure whether the supply valve is off, call a professional. Continuing to run a leaking dishwasher can damage the cabinet, the floor, and neighboring surfaces.
