What to look out for with a dishwasher leaking diagnosis

Diagnosing modern appliances without proper knowledge and training can be difficult. Without using proper diagnostic techniques, fixing your dishwasher problem will only be achieved through changing parts on a hunch. Appliances, especially in the last 10 years, have become extremely advanced, and many models have electronic parts that are difficult to test. DIY repairs on the latest appliance models are becoming increasingly difficult.

How to Fix a Frigidaire Gallery Dishwasher Leak

When you discover a Frigidaire Gallery dishwasher leak, check for an item inside a dish rack that could be blocking spray arm rotation. A blocked spray arm can cause a wave action inside the dishwasher tub – resulting in a leak. Reposition the item or reload the dish-rack to free up spray arm rotation if you discover a dish blocking the spray arm.

If you have the dishwasher loaded properly, check the spray arms for cracks or damage. Make sure they rotate properly. Replace a spray arm if you find it cracked or damaged. If you see deposits or debris blocking spray arm holes, clear the holes using a bamboo skewer or similar tool.

Other problems that can cause a Frigidaire Gallery dishwasher leak include a cracked dishwasher tub, failed water seals on the bottom of the tub, a leaky drain pump or damaged circulation pump. A loose or cracked drain hose will also cause a Frigidaire Gallery dishwasher leak.
