Build the condition record

Build the condition record

  • Record the exact cycle stage and whether the event repeats with an empty cycle.
  • Check the adjacent cabinet from a dry position for visible supply and drain connections.
  • Note detergent, loading, recent installation, disposal work, sink backup or cabinet changes.
  • Photograph water boundaries before wiping, then protect nearby wood and contents.

Why the pattern matters

Why the pattern matters

A dishwasher combines appliance parts with building supply and drain connections. Water at the front edge can be a door or leveling symptom; water in an adjacent cabinet can point toward a visible connection; water during drain can involve the hose or receiving drain. Do not pull the unit across a wet floor.
