leaking dishwasher

Postby malcy1485 » Fri Jul 01, 2005 4:43 pm

Dishwasher leaking, and cant find it. (the leak that is the dishwasher is in the utility room)I have turned it on its side but it seems to be sealed giving no access to the bottom. I have removed all the screws from inside in an attempt to check the seals but cannot get the only plastic bit out. This is the only place it could be leaking from. perhaps a new one or can anyone point me in the right direction to get access to all the seals.

If the m/c completes it's cycle then it's very unlikely to be an internal leak on the D/W.

Have you checked the plumbing that the m/c is connected to?

Oh No - not the Bosch bottom door seal scenario....... :D

Penguin45.
Which bit of "Unplug it" is causing the problem?

These particular Bosch rarely leak from the front.
Only ever seen 2 leak from front

1st had lower spray arm unclipped bodyso it was angled strange
2nd had as penguin said or was saying the lower door seal having come detached from trough of door well; modified lower door seal available if I remember. Oh I remembered another if the lower spray arm becomes jammed by whatever (blinkin smelly dangly things) and is stuck firing at door, the door seal will eventually succumb.

Thanks for all the replies there are some good guys out there after all. Penguin My thoughts entirely I had eventually got to that and was so happy for your confirmation. Will check all other scenarios, including the plumbing but as I only refitted the plumbing behind there a few weeks ago I doubt it is but hey ho if I'm fixing the "Dishwasher" then I cant be doing the ironing. Once again thanks and may all your beers be good ones
