Dishwasher leak in the front right side
Water leaking from your dishwasher indicates a serious problem that you should pay special attention to. More often than not, such problems start at the door, with a leak appearing on the floor in front of it.
There can be several reasons that lead to leaks. Water collecting in the front right area can not only damage the flooring in the living space, but also cause more serious problems. Some common reasons for a dishwasher to leak include:
Door problem
If there is a leak from the dishwasher at the front, this indicates a problem with the machine closing. It is necessary to check the door seal as a last resort. Is the door closed properly? If the appliance is built-in, sometimes cabinetmakers stretch the door too tightly and the wood rests on it, thus keeping the door open and releasing steam and splashing water.
Overloaded dishwasher
This is a rather unpleasant problem that leads to more serious consequences. When the machine overflows, the sprayer becomes blocked and stops in one position, splashing into the drain and starting to slip. The liquid starts to come out through the gaps, collecting in the front of the dishwasher. The other option is when the machine takes in more water than necessary, it actually overflows and leaks out the front.
Using an inappropriate detergent
One of the most common reasons for a dishwasher door leak is this. Using the wrong detergent is said to be the main culprit for water leaking from the front of the machine. If you use bio tablets, they create more foam and it starts to come out from the front. Bubbles may appear inside the dishwasher.
But the cause of such a defect may be completely different from standard problems. The appearance of a leak from the machine door is quite often due to a defect in the lower spray arm.
In some models such as Beko and AEG, a burst or so-called lateral expansion of the lower sprayer is observed and it starts to spray where it is not needed. In this case, there are overflows that catch this.
