Dishwasher leaks onto the floor

Issue description:

If water constantly accumulates on the floor, it can deform the floor. It will start to rot. Mold will grow where moisture accumulates. You will smell bad. Also, water will spread down the floor, and there is a risk of damage to the neighbors' ceiling. To prevent this from happening, it is advisable to know the causes of the leaks.

Small drops of water may appear under the dishwasher. In this case, you shouldn't panic. The device gets rid of excess steam inside. The steam turns into small drops of water. If a puddle has formed under the dishwasher, then there is reason for panic. Most likely, you have damaged one of the parts.

Water flows from the bottom of the device.

With this type of leakage, you need to pay attention to the hose. There are several reasons for the leakage:

A crack has appeared on it.

The seal has been broken.

Slight loosening.

This happens when the dishwasher has been used for several years. It is very easy to fix this breakdown. It is enough to buy a new hose and two clamps required for a tight connection. All this is inexpensive.

If water flows from the bottom of the device and a large puddle appears, the cause may be a malfunction of the valve through which the water flows. He is responsible for the amount of water. If the valve is stuck and opens, a flood will occur.

You need to clean the filters and hoses in the dishwasher from food and grease residues. The filter is located at the bottom of the water container. You need to remove the mesh and unscrew the glass. Wash everything under water and reinstall it.

If there is a problem with the hose or pipe, you just need to wash them with water too.

And if one of the listed parts is damaged, you will have to replace it.

Replacing the valve, spray nozzle or sensor water.

If there is rust on the filler valve, it must be replaced. Just disconnect the nozzles and sensors from it, and put a new one.

Just pull it out with a screwdriver and install a new one.
