Eurotech Dishwasher is leaking - How to get to the guts to fix it
My dishwasher is leaking from the bottom right side. How do you get to that area to determine what part needs to be replaced? Do you take the door off or do you approach from the side? Or is there another avenew?Curt

When a dishwasher leaks, it is usually the door seal or the water level gone wrong. Assuming the door was never leaned-on and the hinges bent, then you look to the seal or in some cases a splashshield fin that goes along the bottom between door and frame. If the unit is more than 7 or 8 years, the seal or shield plate could have lost its shape enough to allow water to get by.
The other problem, is the water level is too hi and this can be because the float switch is filled with soap scum and is heavier than normal, so the float thinks there needs to be more water than usual. Clean the float, you may need to remove a guard shroud to access the float. Goodluck, macgivor
