Dishwasher Leaking Water?
3 Common Causes and When to Call a Pro
Finding a puddle of water on your kitchen floor can be a nightmare. A leaking dishwasher isn't just a mess—if left ignored, it can lead to mold growth and expensive damage to your cabinets and flooring.
If you are in Los Angeles, Sherman Oaks, or Granada Hills and your dishwasher is acting up, here is what you need to know.
1. A Worn-Out Door Gasket
The rubber seal (gasket) around your dishwasher door is what keeps the water inside. Over time, these seals can dry out, crack, or get coated in food debris.
The Fix: Wipe the gasket with a damp cloth. If you see visible cracks, it’s time for a replacement.
2. Clogged Filters or Drain Hose
When water can't exit the machine fast enough, it backs up and leaks out. This often happens because of a clogged filter or a kinked drain hose.
The Fix: Regularly clean your dishwasher filter. If the water still won't drain, the issue might be deeper in the pump assembly.
3. Faulty Water Inlet Valve
If your dishwasher leaks even when it’s not running, the water inlet valve is likely the culprit. This valve controls the flow of water into the unit. If it’s stuck open, it will cause an overfill.
