[FIXED] Bosch Leaking Dishwasher

**Bmarc** · March 26th, 2011, 04:41 AM

Thank you so much for the info on the leaking problem. I had this exact prob last night, checked the filter and numerous other prossible problems. In any case, that opening on the right side that you mentioned is blocked by none other than a cutting board! So, I will have to see if unblocking this area resolves the problem.

What I have noticed however, is the if you reach under the door, when closed, and feel inside the door, there appears to be some sort of insulation in there. This insulation, if that what it actually is, is soaking wet! I'd imagine that this is where the water was leaking from. Can anyone confirm this that has had a similar problem with this leak?

In any case, I will try running the machine without the cutting board the and let you know of my results!

Thank you!

In answer to your wet insulation question, I believe it is due to the mysterious hole (probably a pressure release as someone else stated) on the right side. One of the symptoms I noticed when the hole was blocked was, at a certain point during the cycle, water pouring out of the door bottom onto the floor. Thus resulting in wet insulation. I had a birthday party this week with multiple loads of dishes being washed and NO wet floor! Yee haw and thanks to all the bloggers here! What a relief!

As a lot of other I registered to say thank you. After 2 years of now and again leaks, a new kitchen floor and endless trouble my red ikea flex chopping board now sits on the left...

What a relief it was to find this answer - I just found a big puddle of water on the floor and panicked as we are just about to settle on our house sale. I opened up the dishwasher to find my red flexi chopping board on the right hand side blocking that hole. Just hoping that is definitely the problem - Thank you.

This is spooky. I also have a Bosch dishwasher in the home my wife and I just moved into. It has also been leaking intermittently and I also have a big, red, flexible Ikea chopping board that I've been putting on the right side of the machine. I will stop putting the board on the right side and see if that helps. Thanks!

Add me to the list of homeowners grateful for this post. Thank goodness I was in the kitchen when the water started coming out on the floor. After some basic troubleshooting myself, I jumped on the internet, found this information... and couldn't believe my good luck. Yes, we had a floppy cutting board on the right side of the dishwasher, and yes, removing it caused the dishwasher to run without leaking.

Were it not for this post, I'm sure we would have had the dreaded intermittent problem situation - calling in repairmen, only to be unable to replicate the problem in their presence (in this case, because we had removed and hand washed the dishwasher's contents - including the cutting board).

Thanks again for sharing this valuable information.
