You are welcome. Thank you for your kind feedback. 😁👍🧰
Thank for the video! Turns out the issue on my GE was that the float stem housing became loose and the o-ring wasn’t in contact. Water was just pouring out of the float switch area. I tightened it up and we are good as new! I saved your video in case another problem occurs.
Awesome job pinpointing the cause. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

BEST VIDEO! Michael Borders does the best job of describing, and visually demonstrating troubleshooting various types of dishwasher leaks.
For safety sake, I'd unplug it before sticking my arm underneath (I noticed there's a receptacle for it under the sink), otherwise I'd turn off the breaker if it's hardwired... and if it's wet under there, the arm turns into a perfect bridge and a jolt may turn into a cut from yanking it out around sharp edges. A dishwasher leak pan is a good investment to protect the flooring and notice a leak a bit quicker before a non-protected cubbyhole flood.
Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts, always welcome here and much appreciated. 😁👍

Great walkthrough of a GE dishwasher. This is what I needed to know. Thanks!
(Update) I got mine fixed based on your suggestions. I had two leaks on one hose. It’s as good as new now. :)
Good morning ☕️ we are honored to read this, thank you.
You are very welcome. 😁👍🧰
Thanks for an explanation that this almost 60 year old lady can understand. I finally looked under my dishwasher. I just got done fixing my microwave. Yeah me. My GE dishwasher is leaking from the pump area. It is very tight underneath and have decided to get my appliance guy. I feel proud to be able to explain what I think the problem is. There is a stalagmite coming from the pump area. Thanks again for your explanation.
Good morning, awesome job on the microwave. We definitely know the lack of space underneath dishwasher.
If it helps, we have attached a video link below showing us replacing our pump motor.

This will get you even more familiar with the machine prior to the technician arriving. 👍
This is super helpful, thank you. My dishwasher has water collecting in the bottom of it, some of which leaked through the floor into my basement downstairs. Not sure how since my kitchen has tile, but will attempt to find out once I find a way to remove the collected water from the dishwasher. The water looks clean.
Thanks for watching, that’s no fun however we are giving you 👍👍 for making it a DIY project.
We are standing ready to help answer any questions. Fist thing to do is pinpoint the exact location of leak…whether it’s drain hose, pump motor…
Keep us posted. 👍
This was really helpful! I turned on my dishwasher for the first time in more than a year; left the room and came back later to a kitchen floor completely covered in soapy foam and water! I’m afraid to turn it on again, because I don’t want another flood, but I need to figure out where the leak is. This video will help. Thanks!
Thanks for sharing this, we will definitely help you, please let us know if you have any questions.
A floor full of soapy water is no fun.
Thus video is 1000% not gonna fix that.
UPDATE: It’s called an air gap and I found a fix it video
This is a great video!!! Thank you for posting it. My mom is blind, my s-dad just passed away after being bed bound for 2-3 years and I’m trying to get her house in shape for her. I noticed there is a drain like thing on the top of her counter. It’s for the dishwasher, but I’m not sure what it’s called to find a video on it leaking. Even after running the garbage disposal before running the dishwasher the thing on the counter has a leak. Any helpful hints would be appreciated (even the name of the part).
Awesome, we have an Air gap installed on our Reverse Osmosis system faucet.
😎👍🧰
Thank you..Very helpful and your calm voice was a needed boost..My problem revealed itself over a few weeks of me scratching my head wondering why i had a pool of water in my basement..The water found in the basement just happened to gather near my clothes washer.. drain sink and furnace leaving me bewildered on what the heck was leaking..Turns out my dish washer just so happens to be upstairs in my kitchen above all these things in the basement and the leak didn't reveal itself until this morning as my kitchen floor was wet..Finally relief knowing where this water was coming from but it brought on a new adventure yet to tackle..This video though helps me to understand what to look for under the dish washer so it remains to be seen how to fix it but this video for sure gives me a start thanks..
You are very wise in your commentary, Thumbs up 👍

Good Video, Another possibility is the hot water line from your faucet. It can run down the and drip under the dishwasher, making it look like it is the dishwasher that is leaking.
yeah the inlet hose

Can you replace the pump. ? Mine won’t drain. I have the same washer
Thanks for watching, you can indeed. Below is a link to our video showing replacement of this exact pump motor assembly.

Hi there! So my dishwasher kept kicking out the pod and I noticed the floater to the left side of the dishwasher was loose so I tightened that and when I went to turn it on my dishwasher started leaking from the bottom like water was coming through the door at the bottom. Why do you think that could be? It’s a GE potscrubber dishwasher
Thanks for watching, leaks are no fun. Any update? Have you inspected the door seal to ensure it’s not pinched or damaged?
@@DIYwithMichaelBorders I think I fixed the door seal as there’s no more leaking but now the dishwasher fills with water 😩 I cleaned everything already and ran it again but the water is just not draining. There’s no water backing up into the sink through the garbage disposal either so not sure why it’s not draining.
@@jacquelinesanchez4494
Thanks for the reply, any update? Hopefully it’s as simple as a loose connection. Hopefully you don’t have to replace the motor.
I'm leaking water around the coil at the bottom of the dishwasher. The 2 that goes into the dishwasher's Bay. Kind of rusty, how can I?
Thanks for watching, is your coil connected to motor assembly? If not, it should be a friendly project.
Great vid. Thanks
Where is the link to replace the drain hose?
Thanks man
Good morning ☕️ you are welcome.
Could there be a leak between the motor and the pump housing?
Thanks for watching and that’s absolutely possible.
@@DIYwithMichaelBorders thanks

I wonder if you could help me diagnose my problem:
Samsung Dishwasher is leaking from the front (not the bottom as far as I can tell) I can tell the lower door seal is disintegrated so that makes sense that water is leaking out of the front.
I followed other videos showing to turn it on the side and dry everything and the pan so the leak sensor will stop activating the drain.
I checked the drain hose and the water inlet-dry as a bone.
I haven’t run the dishwasher but when I opened the dishwasher there was water standing inside the bottom of the dishwasher. I think water is leaking INTO the INSIDE of dishwasher and gets high enough to run out the front (because of the bad seal which is a discontinued part) and I never would have know it was even happening if the lower door seal hadn’t finally given out.
What part do I need to check or replace for water leaking INTO the dishwasher even when I’m not running a cycle? The water supply is not leaking inside my cabinet either. There’s no water except inside the dishwasher and then when it runs out the front (when it gathers enough to leak out the bad seal.) No water originating under the machine except the water that runs under when it leaks out the front. Any help would be appreciated.
What size clamp did you use?
Thanks for watching, the clamp itself is the original. If you’re looking to replace the original clamp with a new clamp, you can purchase a clamp set and match the size that fits best with you machine.

My dishwasher leaks when I run it but its leaking under the sink. Its where the hose fits into a straight pipe and its like the pipe is over filling
Thanks for watching, this can happen when the pipe itself is clogged causing backup/blockage of water flow.
You can disconnect the dishwasher drain hose and verify pipe and additional plumbing is clear of any blockage.
I have a literal short video of my leak under my GE nautilus. Can I send that to you to get an idea of what part is leaking? It's an old machine but this only just started happening and I noticed the water backs up in the sink. I have tried everything to deal with my slow drain but nothing seems to work.
Thanks for watching, this is the best way to stay in contact with us. Let’s get this figured out.
Are you experiencing any other issues with your sink plumbing that may be causing the back up?
Is the leak underneath dishwasher close to a rubber hose fitting or does it look like it’s more of a crack in the respective part? Keep us posted.
@@DIYwithMichaelBorders Hello and thanks for the response. The sink has a slow drain and has been like that no matter what I do to try and clear it. Like you know, those chemical cleaners or I even tried using vinegar and baking soda. But the machine never leaked regardless even though the water backs up into the sink when it drains. I looked under and it's dripping from what I think is the drained shaft seal. I've ordered the part and I think I can fix it from watching videos :) Oh and I should add that it only leaks when draining.
@@DragonQueen78
Thanks for the reply, awesome job! We are looking forward to hearing back from you when that new part arrives.

@@DIYwithMichaelBorders thanks for the support. We definitely need to stick together and more women need to learn how to fix stuff lol
@@DragonQueen78
😎👍
Yes the best. 🎉
If the leak ends up under the cupboard and down a ways, would that be the drainage pipe. Its about 30 minutes into the cycle
Thanks for watching, that’s very likely. We recommend checking to see if the drain hose is wet at any point alone hose.
If so, it may be a leaking drain hose. Please keep us posted.
Have same issue but everything is dry under the machine .. leaks just at the front of the door halfway in the cycles and just started after 4.5 years of perfect cleaning cycles.
Guess it means gaskets bottom of door plastic piece and the rubber gaskets around the edge I guess? But nothing is wet except the massive leaks halfway in the cycle. Trying to see what is causing. Took off the panel and just wetness dripping from insulation from bottom of the door left and right .. mostly right side.
Any ideas? Thank you @@DIYwithMichaelBorders
My dishwasher is over 20 years old (Kitchen Aid KUDI01DLBS0), and it started leaking from the bottom (on the right side of the door). I opened the bottom cover/panel and ran the Normal Cycle while watching it with a flashlight where the leak came from. It took about 15 min, until you could no longer add any more dishes and the cycle started. That is the time that i see it starts leaking, not from the bottom of the inlet valve but somewhere from above the valve visible part. What can this be? If there is an issue with the inlet valve it should start leaking as soon as you start the cycle? No?
Thank you in advance.
@@nofear6235
Thanks for watching, any update? Have you inspected the water line that feeds water to the inlet valve and into the system? This line will tie into your warm water plumbing underneath your sink.
It’s possible that water is leaking from that inlet hose or line as it feeds from above.
We also recommend inspecting your door seal, as it’s possible that your door seal is damaged further upstream and allowing water to flow down onto inlet valve. Keep us posted.
Thank you for quick reply. Yes I did check all water and drain hoses before my initial post, was laying down for over 40 min on the floor with flashlight checking for any leaks during the cycle from the very beginning. I also replaced the door seal a year ago or so, its not cause for this current leak. I unscrewed and pulled down inlet water valve while its still connected, so I can observe for any leaks from the top portion where it connected to black hose. Nothing. More over, yesterday I cant ever replicate the leak even after 30 min from the beginning of the cycle.
One thing I noticed though, when I open the door during the cycle, the water still run (isn't it supposed to stop when door is open while machine is running?) from the water filling hole in the lower left side of the dishwasher.
So far my update is that I wash dishes with my hands, lol, to make missus happy
If i don't find the culprit i next few days I am buying a new unit, I cant complain about the current one, its from 2002! Had a long life and work hard.
@@nofear6235
We appreciate the follow up, yes…the machine is supposed to shut down anytime the door is opened.
A faulty door latch sensor can lead to this. Being from 2002, that’s a great run. 😁👍
Looking forward to hearing back from you.
I think the tightening that inside part may be the ticket
Thanks for watching, looking forward to hearing back from you on if it does the trick. That would be awesome!
Mine leaked even though I hadn't used it I'm months. WTF
Good morning, have you pinpointed the exact leak point? You may just need to slightly adjust the hose and clamp to create a water-tight seal.
my whirlpool is a bad design and a piece of junk
Thanks for watching, let us know if we can help answer any questions.
Gtff
Thanks for watching.
Our leak is from the front of the door on each side and happens at certain times do the cycle and can't tell what us causing the water to come out
