Way to go Wayne...by far the best dishwasher leak video on KZread. By going over all the potential root causes, I was able to zero in on several minor problems that in total fixed the door leak. The wave action was created by loose screws on the pump outlet, a loose pump outlet tube to the upper arm, and partially plugged wash arms for the upper and lower racks. Never would have found these without your help...Thanks.

There are a few problems he doesn’t touch on, e.g., the water level float, but these are probably the main ones. Great video!

This, hands down, THE first video to watch if you have a dishwasher that is leaking. I was all set to buy top and bottom gaskets for my leaking dishwasher assuming that eight years in, I was due even though for the vast majority of that time it was merely a drying rack. Watching this video made me realize that I'd just had a wonky load and the water had gone up and over the door (mentioned perhaps 40 seconds in). My gaskets had all felt fine and I didn't have a small leak, I had quarts of water gushing out. I unloaded the dishwasher. Ran a small load through and Voila!, no leaks. Thank you, Wayne and Sears PartsDirect for mentioning something no other dishwasher video repair video (of a half dozen or so) had done.

Thank you for this video. I followed your instructions. I was able to figure out that it was the diverter motor, and then I hired a professional Sear repair service. When I told them that I figured it out using your video, he was like, "Yep". We will replace the sump (I think that is what it is called), also, because it has issues too with a little seal in it. He didn't even do any tests or anything himself, lol. Anyway, he ordered the parts, and a week later another guy came to finish the repair so I got that done. But, my wife was waiting on me to meet her somewhere so I said I will replace the kick panels. Later, I could not remember in what order and how exactly I removed them, and your video does not clearly show it. One or maybe two months later, lol, I found another video that helped me figure it out for sure, and "Wallah!" The job is complete and God bless my wife for her patience since I had the kick and toe panel stashed across from the dishwasher and just under the stove panel for I think almost two months! Meanwhile, I was giving my mom and also my brother help with some of their home improvement projects, and my dishwasher toe panels kept beckoning for attention, lol! Here is the link to the video that helped me with the toe and kick panel re-install. kzread.info/dash/bejne/f2SfvMujf7epc7w.html

February 2021 our dishwasher first began leaking at the after 89 minutes, and now will leak after 22 minutes. We have had Sears repair out 7 times and parts replaced 3 or 4 times, and it still leaks. We thought after last week when the same repairman was working on it again told me he had done everything he knew to do and would call his manager/supervisor to possibly replace the dishwasher. In a few days, I had a text from Sears that they ordered 4 more parts and scheduled an appointment for May 7, 2021 to install the parts. I was so frustrated, and I remember he said that there is possibly too much water released into the dishwasher. I tried it tonight, and now it leaks less, but there was so little water allowed into the dishwasher, it didn’t even wet all of the dish soap pod. Also, now the Drain cycle won’t turn off, so, I have to leave the door open a little but the readout still says over and over it is on the Drain cycle. My husband wants to buy a new dishwasher tomorrow, and cancel the Sears warranty because 4 months is ridiculous to go through this.

Unplug the dishwasher and shut off the water supply. Using the installation manual for guidance, pull the dishwasher out of the cabinet. Check the drain hose connection to the drain pump and fix that connection if it's loose. Pour water into the end pf the drain hose that connects to the garbage disposal to see if the drain hose leaks. Replace the drain hose if it leaks. The drain hose typically has a flapper check valve that prevents drain water from backflowing all the way to the drain pump. If the drain hose doesn't leak then you may need to replace the drain pump seal, drain pump or sump.

If the dishwasher doesn't overfill with water, then a wave action inside the dishwasher tub may be causing water to slosh over the top of the standpipe for that float switch stem. Check the bottom spray arm for damage is you suspect that a wave action is causing the leak. We hope this information helps. If you need further assistance, let us know.

Check for damaged or cracked spray arms as described at :27 in the video. A leak from under the door is often caused by wave action created in the tub by a damaged spray arm or other factors described in the video.

@@searspartsdirect Can broken glass under the spray arm cause the dishwasher to leak? My dish washer was leaking under the door. I lifted the spray arm up and saw a huge piece of broken glass under it. I removed the glass but i didn't restart my dishwasher to see if it's fixed.

@@PhillyDjHook Yes. A huge piece of broken glass can interfere with lower spray arm rotation or its spray pattern which can cause a wave action inside the tub in some models. The wave action can cause water to slosh over the front lip of the washer tub and leak out the bottom of the dishwasher door. We hope this information helps. If the dishwasher continues to leak and you need more help, let us know. Include the model number of your dishwasher and we'll be able to provide more specific advice for your type of dishwasher.

@@searspartsdirect yeah when i removed the glass, the water that was in the washer went down the drain and when i shut the door to wash more dishes, the leak was gone. But thanks anyway.

Exact same here. I heard the words "wave action", and I knew that was it. Took just a couple of minutes after that. (A repairman had replaced a part and didn't reconnect everything 100%).
