    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.

    Solution

    If the rubber hose, which is supplied as a separate part by your dishwasher’s brand, is damaged, it can be replaced provided the circulation pump is functioning correctly and maintaining proper pressure. However, some dishwasher manufacturers do not offer the connecting hose as a standalone replacement part, and it may need to be replaced together with the circulation pump.

    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.

    Solution

    To resolve this issue, the drain pump needs to be replaced, and the drain system should be cleaned to prevent the same problem from occurring with the new pump.

    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.

    Solution

    To resolve the issue, replace the water valve or the hose if it’s the source of the problem.

    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.

    Solution

    To fix this issue, the sump needs to be replaced. This involves uninstalling the dishwasher, cleaning all components, replacing the sump, and reconnecting the dishwasher.
