Water line to dishwasher leaking.

A leak will typically be located at a connection where a water supply line meets a valve or the machine itself but this is a general statement. Pull out the dishwasher and remove the access panel which looks like the small kickplate at the bottom of the dishwasher. A hose or pipe carries water from your household plumbing to your dishwasher s water inlet. There are three places a leak can occur under here.

If dirty water coming into the dishwasher thats possibly an issue with faulty check valve on the drain hose. These seals are made from rubber and over time will leak. A pump seal leak can be identified as water dripping from the motor or the pump housing. Another issue could be when the dirty water coming into the dishwasher from the sink drainage line through the drain hose.

If this connection is loose or if a gasket has failed water could be leaking from this area. The drain hose feeds water from the dishwasher to the drain pump drain line and eventually out your sink drain all visible only once you remove the kickplate panel at the base of your appliance. If clean water coming into your dishwasher when not running that s most likely an issue with a water inlet valve. The water line connected to the valve should be easily removed with the open ended wrench.

Whether you are installing a new dishwasher or just replacing the hot water supply line here is a quick how to video. Finding a leak is really about running the water and looking around. The inlet valve can be found behind the lower kick plate. A wrench is all that is required 15mm.

The seals on the pump wear out. When water begins to spill through the vertical slots in the chrome cover there is a clog somewhere along the drain line that isn t allowing the water to drain from the dishwasher. There is a water pump in your dishwasher. From there loosen the hose clamp using the 5 16th nut driver which is connected to the air gap.

The water inlet valve feeds the water from your home s main water line into the dishwasher and could be the source of a leak. There is also a possibility that the line itself is damaged or even the dishwasher may be leaking. If your pump leaks around the seals remove it and replace the seals to prevent any further leakage.
