Dishwasher Is Leaking
If your dishwasher is leaking, the issue could stem from various components. A damaged circulation pump hose may cause leaks, often starting with a small hole that expands under pressure. Similarly, a faulty drain pump can develop cracks or seal damage due to sharp objects in the water. A water valve leak might occur from a loose hose connection or water pressure spikes. No matter the cause, our technicians can diagnose the problem and provide the right fix to restore your dishwasher’s performance. Learn more about our dishwasher repair services:

Description and Troubleshooting of Problems
Circulation Pump Leaking
The circulation pump is responsible for washing dishes by creating high-pressure water flow. During dishwasher use, sharp fragments, such as pieces of glass or broken dishes, can enter the circulation pump. It is connected to the sump and other components with rubber hoses. These hoses can get damaged, leading to leaks. Sometimes, it starts with a very small hole that expands under pressure, causing the water to leak.

Drain Pump Leaking
The drain pump is responsible for removing water from the dishwasher. All the dirty water passes through it, often carrying small, sharp objects that can damage its plastic casing or the rubber seal that prevents leaks. To avoid this, ensure all dishes are securely placed, promptly remove any items that fall to the bottom of the dishwasher, and regularly check and clean the filter to keep it clear.

Water Valve Leaking
The water valve controls the flow of water into the dishwasher. Damage to the water valve often occurs due to mechanical issues, such as pulling on the water hose connected to the valve, poor hose connection, or sudden spikes in water pressure. The water valve is a plastic component not designed to withstand significant stress, so proper care and handling are essential to avoid damage.

Sump Leaking
The sump is a plastic part inside the dishwasher that connects to the circulation pump, drain pump, and various sensors. The sump is attached to the dishwasher’s metal frame with a rubber gasket. This gasket is often the source of leaks when it gets damaged. Such damage can occur due to sharp objects like knives, glass, and similar items getting into the sump.
