Why Is My Hoover Dishwasher Leaking?
A leaking dishwasher can have several causes. The location of the leak will help identify the source. Most leaks come from the door seal, a loose hose connection or too much detergent.
Common Causes
Worn or damaged door seal
The door gasket seals the dishwasher during the cycle. If it is cracked, torn or has debris stuck to it, water will escape around the door.
Too much detergent
Using too much detergent or the wrong type can cause excessive foam which will leak out of the door or vents.
Loose or damaged inlet or drain hose
A loose connection or cracked hose will leak during filling or draining.
Blocked filter causing overflow
A severely blocked filter can cause water to back up and overflow inside the machine, eventually leaking from the door or base.
Faulty door latch
If the door is not closing and latching properly, water will escape during the cycle.
Checks To Try Before Calling An Engineer
Inspect the door seal
Check the rubber door seal all the way around for cracks, tears or debris. Clean it thoroughly.
Check detergent type and quantity
Use only dishwasher detergent in the correct quantity. Never use washing up liquid.
Check hose connections
Ensure the inlet and drain hoses are firmly connected and free of cracks.
Clean the filter
Clean the filter to ensure water drains correctly during the cycle.
Run a short cycle and observe
Run a short programme while watching the machine to identify exactly where the water is escaping from.
