When it comes to dishwashers leaking on to the floor of your kitchen, there are many possible causes. Try to find the cause of your dishwasher leak by inspecting the following components of your appliance. 

Water Leaking Underneath of Dishwasher

If water is pooling underneath your dishwasher, the following may be to blame:

• Corroded or leaking dishwasher tub from soap or old age
• Loose or stuck water valves
• Loose or cracked water supply lines
• Dishwasher isn’t level

Water Leaking From Front of Dishwasher

If you notice water leaking from the front of the dishwasher, it’s possible that you’re dealing with a leaking door. A leaking dishwasher door can be caused by:

• Faulty door latch
• Using the incorrect dishwasher detergent
• Door gasket/seal needing replacement
