Very helpful!!!! Thank you!!! Love your professional, friendly voice!!!

Easily the most concise, clearly communicated and helpful DIY I've seen. I can't thank you enough for putting this out on RU-vid Mike. You've saved me serious money and headaches with this :)

I've seen many DIY vids on here...this one is remarkable for its clarity and moreover its camera work and lighting underneath the dishwasher. The manuf & model are not identified, but it's a good identifier of the components involved. Well done and thanks a bunch!

BEST VIDEO! Michael Borders does the best job of describing, and visually demonstrating troubleshooting various types of dishwasher leaks.

Thank you..Very helpful and your calm voice was a needed boost..My problem revealed itself over a few weeks of me scratching my head wondering why i had a pool of water in my basement..The water found in the basement just happened to gather near my clothes washer.. drain sink and furnace leaving me bewildered on what the heck was leaking..Turns out my dish washer just so happens to be upstairs in my kitchen above all these things in the basement and the leak didn't reveal itself until this morning as my kitchen floor was wet..Finally relief knowing where this water was coming from but it brought on a new adventure yet to tackle..This video though helps me to understand what to look for under the dish washer so it remains to be seen how to fix it but this video for sure gives me a start thanks..

I'm self training as a appliance technician for a small business. Dishwashers are my last intimidating foe. This made things feel much less scary. Thanks!

Thanks for an explanation that this almost 60 year old lady can understand. I finally looked under my dishwasher. I just got done fixing my microwave. Yeah me. My GE dishwasher is leaking from the pump area. It is very tight underneath and have decided to get my appliance guy. I feel proud to be able to explain what I think the problem is. There is a stalagmite coming from the pump area. Thanks again for your explanation.

Thank for the video! Turns out the issue on my GE was that the float stem housing became loose and the o-ring wasn’t in contact. Water was just pouring out of the float switch area. I tightened it up and we are good as new! I saved your video in case another problem occurs.

This was really helpful! I turned on my dishwasher for the first time in more than a year; left the room and came back later to a kitchen floor completely covered in soapy foam and water! I’m afraid to turn it on again, because I don’t want another flood, but I need to figure out where the leak is. This video will help. Thanks!

For safety sake, I'd unplug it before sticking my arm underneath (I noticed there's a receptacle for it under the sink), otherwise I'd turn off the breaker if it's hardwired... and if it's wet under there, the arm turns into a perfect bridge and a jolt may turn into a cut from yanking it out around sharp edges. A dishwasher leak pan is a good investment to protect the flooring and notice a leak a bit quicker before a non-protected cubbyhole flood.

This is super helpful, thank you. My dishwasher has water collecting in the bottom of it, some of which leaked through the floor into my basement downstairs. Not sure how since my kitchen has tile, but will attempt to find out once I find a way to remove the collected water from the dishwasher. The water looks clean.

Great walkthrough of a GE dishwasher. This is what I needed to know. Thanks! (Update) I got mine fixed based on your suggestions. I had two leaks on one hose. It’s as good as new now. :)

awesome info man thanks I’m having some issues. With my dishwasher. This video helps me understand.

You are very wise in your commentary, Thumbs up 👍

Thank you so much ❤️ I know how to get started on finding the leak now! Learned a lot too!

Thanks for explaining everything.alot of good info .👍

Very informative! Thanks!

Very helpful! Helped me save me from buying a new one. God bless 🙏🏼

Very good video. Just missed the door's seal. Those can leak and are easy fixes as well.

UPDATE: It’s called an air gap and I found a fix it video This is a great video!!! Thank you for posting it. My mom is blind, my s-dad just passed away after being bed bound for 2-3 years and I’m trying to get her house in shape for her. I noticed there is a drain like thing on the top of her counter. It’s for the dishwasher, but I’m not sure what it’s called to find a video on it leaking. Even after running the garbage disposal before running the dishwasher the thing on the counter has a leak. Any helpful hints would be appreciated (even the name of the part).

Thank you very much… very helpful

You are amazing. Thanks for sharing.

My dishwasher doesn’t have that second panel to remove, am i to remove something else after the first panel removal?

Excellent video and speaking

Good Video, Another possibility is the hot water line from your faucet. It can run down the and drip under the dishwasher, making it look like it is the dishwasher that is leaking.

Great vid. Thanks

Good video. Grabbing my shiny new drill.

Great video.

Excellent.Thank you.

Thank you for these explanations!! I am a woman that has zero handy skills 😅😅

omg i own a asko... there was no leak b4 i had a repairman... the guy came and found a ti y bit of a plastic bread pin in the hose.... thats why my pump wasnt working... since it started leaking... ill check 1st if may have not tight it back enough... but asko all in the back it seems unless im wrong... and when it leaks seems to be toward the back left side... wish me luck... but your video gave me what to look for

Really helpful and clear, thank you!

So excited I found a dishwasher on fb for sale for $50!!! Because it leaks

Where is the link to replace the drain hose?

If the leak ends up under the cupboard and down a ways, would that be the drainage pipe. Its about 30 minutes into the cycle

Thank you so much !!. I thought I was crazy and my dog kept peeing on my dishwasher 🤦🏻‍♀️ 😂

Can you replace the pump. ? Mine won’t drain. I have the same washer

Hi there! So my dishwasher kept kicking out the pod and I noticed the floater to the left side of the dishwasher was loose so I tightened that and when I went to turn it on my dishwasher started leaking from the bottom like water was coming through the door at the bottom. Why do you think that could be? It’s a GE potscrubber dishwasher

I'm leaking water around the coil at the bottom of the dishwasher. The 2 that goes into the dishwasher's Bay. Kind of rusty, how can I?

My dishwasher leaks when I run it but its leaking under the sink. Its where the hose fits into a straight pipe and its like the pipe is over filling

I wonder if you could help me diagnose my problem: Samsung Dishwasher is leaking from the front (not the bottom as far as I can tell) I can tell the lower door seal is disintegrated so that makes sense that water is leaking out of the front. I followed other videos showing to turn it on the side and dry everything and the pan so the leak sensor will stop activating the drain. I checked the drain hose and the water inlet-dry as a bone. I haven’t run the dishwasher but when I opened the dishwasher there was water standing inside the bottom of the dishwasher. I think water is leaking INTO the INSIDE of dishwasher and gets high enough to run out the front (because of the bad seal which is a discontinued part) and I never would have know it was even happening if the lower door seal hadn’t finally given out. What part do I need to check or replace for water leaking INTO the dishwasher even when I’m not running a cycle? The water supply is not leaking inside my cabinet either. There’s no water except inside the dishwasher and then when it runs out the front (when it gathers enough to leak out the bad seal.) No water originating under the machine except the water that runs under when it leaks out the front. Any help would be appreciated.

I have a literal short video of my leak under my GE nautilus. Can I send that to you to get an idea of what part is leaking? It's an old machine but this only just started happening and I noticed the water backs up in the sink. I have tried everything to deal with my slow drain but nothing seems to work.

What size clamp did you use?

My dishwasher is over 20 years old (Kitchen Aid KUDI01DLBS0), and it started leaking from the bottom (on the right side of the door). I opened the bottom cover/panel and ran the Normal Cycle while watching it with a flashlight where the leak came from. It took about 15 min, until you could no longer add any more dishes and the cycle started. That is the time that i see it starts leaking, not from the bottom of the inlet valve but somewhere from above the valve visible part. What can this be? If there is an issue with the inlet valve it should start leaking as soon as you start the cycle? No? Thank you in advance.

Could there be a leak between the motor and the pump housing?

I think the tightening that inside part may be the ticket

Mine leaked even though I hadn't used it I'm months. WTF

my whirlpool is a bad design and a piece of junk

Gtff
