Possible fault areas
- Dirty or damaged door seal
- Foaming caused by wrong detergent
- Machine not level
- Leak in a hose or internal component
The order does not confirm a failed part. Different causes can create the same symptom.
Dishwasher leaking
Water appears at the front, around the door or beneath the cabinet.
Safety rule: stop when there is smoke, sparking, a burning smell, electric-shock signs, an active leak, cracked hob glass or suspected gas. Disconnect only when it is safe to do so.
Safe checks
- Stop the cycle immediately
- Shut off water and disconnect power with dry hands
- Dry the floor and inspect the visible seal
DIY diagnostic boundary: Do not restart the appliance until the source of an active leak has been identified.
