My Dishwasher Started Leaking Out The Bottom Of The Impeller Assembly.
I went on line and found the partselect website and was able to identify the defective parts using the schematic drawings. I ordered the parts and in about an hour I had reassembled the dishwasher and had it running again much to the joy of my wife and children. (No more washing dishes by hand!). I also purchased the touch-up paint and tine tips and now the washer looks and runs like it did when I purchased it.
This was an easy fix. My husband took out the old gasket and put the new one in. It fit perfectly and no more leak. The part got to us really quickly too and that was nice. No more hand washing the dishes! :)
Sorry, probably need a spring as the door is fine. While reading other stories about how hard the spring was to get right, I assumed the spring was part of the door assembly. I'll be calling and returnint the part.
Opened the door by using a star screwdriver. Pulled the door inside from the outside. Located the broken spring, put in new one (be very carefull to see how the insides are put together..makes life ALOT easier), and carefully put back together.
Disconnected power. Shut off water supply. Took off the front, disconnected copper supply line and flexible water line, removed water inlet valve. Took elbow from old inlet valve and put in on new one. Put new valve in, reconnected water lines, put back front panel. Opened water supply, Flipped breaker back on. Done and it worked!
The bottom trim piece popped off easily and I removed the damaged panel and replaced it with the new one. I snapped on the trim piece and I was done. It took less than five minutes.
Watched your video and replaced seal in approx. 5 minutes, probably less. Still leaked so I looked at your page for solutions, found out where the air vent was and pried it open, very disgusting mess. With screw driver and long tweezers dug out what I could then poured a mixture of bleach and water in the vent. Totally cleaned it, very white, vent cover went into a bucket of bleach and hot water and it cleaned very well. Put vent cover back on and did a load of dishes, works fine. Thank you for having such a great website, if I ever need help again I will be back. It's a shame someone didn't tell you about cleaning the air vent when you bought the dishwasher.
Removed and installed new door gasket which I found to be a simple task. Ran dishwasher and it still leaked. I then looked at other repairs submitted by your customers with the same problem. One had mentioned removing the lower spray arm and checking the screws around the pump. Sure enough, 2 screws were nearly ready to fall out and all others were loose. Tightened those, reinstalled spray arm, ran the dishwasher and no leaks. A big "Thanks" to you and also to other customers for sharing both their problem and how they were able to fix it. It sure saved me some money!!
