if the issue is not repaired
If you notice water around the dishwasher, damp flooring, cabinet swelling, or a musty smell near the appliance, it is best to stop using the dishwasher until it is inspected.
Leaks can come from worn seals, loose hoses, faulty valves, or internal pump issues.
Warning Signs List:
-
Water pooling near the dishwasher
-
Damp or swollen cabinets
-
Musty smell near the appliance
-
Leaks during or after a wash cycle
-
Water remaining inside the dishwasher
-
