Why does my dishwasher flood the kitchen when I use it?
1. Improper Installation:
- Dishwasher not leveled correctly (causing water to pool and leak)
- Drain hose not properly connected
- Water supply line is not tight at the connection
2. Clogged Drain Line:
- Food particles, grease, or debris accumulation in the drain hose or filter
3. Faulty Door Gasket:
- Damaged door seal allows water to seep out during the wash cycle
4. Broken Float Switch:
- The float switch monitors the water level and shuts off the water supply when the tub is full. A faulty switch may fail to do so and cause overflow.
5. Defective Water Inlet Valve:
- A faulty valve doesn't close properly after filling the tub, leading to continuous water flow.
6. Overloaded Dishwasher:
- Overcrowding the dishwasher with too many dishes or overloading the racks can block the water jets, preventing proper circulation and leading to spillover.
7. Faulty Spray Arm or Blockage:
- A damaged/clogged spray arm may not efficiently distribute water, causing accumulation and overflow.
- Check for any food debris or clogs that may block the spray arm holes.
8. Detergent Issues:
- Excessive detergent or using the wrong type of detergent may produce too much suds and cause spillage.
9. Old or Worn Out Hoses:
- Deteriorated or cracked water supply hoses or drain hoses can start leaking over time.
10. Damaged Control Panel:
- In some cases, a faulty control panel can lead to incorrect programming and excessive water usage.
