Leak in top shower hose
Hardest part is removing unit from under counter. Degree of difficulty will depend on how plumbing and electric are connected to unit. In my case the supply hose, electrrical cable and waste hose all had plenty of slack and unit only has to come out about 20" to get to top tub connection.
The leak was on the rubber connection
... Read more that attaches the hard plastic hose to the pump under the tub. That attaches with a standard automotive type screw band clamp. The other end goes into the top of the drum and atttached into the uppper spray arm with a plastic nut (I replaced the rubber washer when changing this side just to be safe.)
Level of difficulty for me was easy but if you are not familiar with dishwasher installation and connections, could be time consuming. And obviously had to discern where leak was before ordering parts. I had taped it with black electrical tape as a temporary fix to make sure that was the part that was leaking. It was not obvious as it was just a small pinhole.
The problem was the rubber end on the upper shower head pipe at the pump. Not to hard . Slide dishwaser half way ouy the ptpe is on the right side.The bottom end is is just a clamp the top drops in from the top, inside there is a nut above the upper shower head. You can unsrew the nut with your fingers, it is right above the upper shower
... Read more head.There it a washer at the top of the pipe that should be replaced that doesnot come with the pipe

Leak in the hose that feeds the upper wash arm
First I disconnected the dishwasher electric, water supply and discharge hoses. I then pulled the dishwasher out. After opening the door, I removed the retainer clip holding the upper wash arm, then the nut holding the top shower hose in place. Close the door and lean the dishwasher on its side to get at the underside where the other e

There appears to be a gasket under the spray arm that has come apart. I found a small screw that was laying under the spray arm mount as well. I've taken the spray arm apart several times to clean it. Today I noticed the decaying state of the gasket when I cleaned it. Is there a part to replace this? Tks

The problem doesn't seem to be a hose leak, although the tiny screw may have held a hose in place. The decayed gasket is underneath the round base that holds the spray arm, spray arm mount. I fear the gasket is causing a leak that i haven't detected yet. I couldn't tell from your recommendation if the part was a gasket or a hose. Tks tw

Hi Terrence, Thank you for the question. I suggest replacing the gasket since there is wear. Even if it is not causing the leak, it may cause issues soon.Hope this helps!
