What to be aware of with a dishwasher leaking from bottom diagnosis

Figuring out issues with modern appliances can be hard if you don't have the right knowledge and training. If you don't use the right techniques to diagnose problems, you might end up just guessing and replacing parts randomly. Appliances, especially those made in the last 10 years, have gotten very advanced, with lots of electronic parts that are tricky to check. Doing repairs yourself on the latest appliance models is getting harder and harder.

Troubleshooting a Dishwasher Leaking from the Bottom Right Corner

A dishwasher leaking at the bottom right corner could have a blocked spray arm. A blocked spray arm can cause a wave action that causes water to slosh over the front lip of the tub and leak out of the bottom right corner. Check the dishes loaded in the dishwasher and reposition any dishes blocking the spray arm.

Check for a cracked or broken spray arm because this could also cause wave action inside the dishwasher tub and leaking from the bottom right corner. Replace any cracked, broken or damaged spray arms in your dishwasher.

Check the condition of the door seal in your dishwasher and replace the door seal if it’s damaged.

If these basic troubleshooting tips don’t help you resolve a problem with your dishwasher leaking at the bottom right corner, schedule dishwasher repair service and have a Sears Home Services technician visit your home and fix the dishwasher.
