My nearly 9 year old DW is leaking from the seal between the sump and the tub, causing the E15 error code. The leak is only during the last 20 minutes or so of the 2:20 wash cycle. I've watch it several times with the machine pulled out from the cabinets.

I'm wondering why it only leaks during that part of the cycle rather than continuously during the wash. Any clues? I figure it's probably not worth investing in a 9 year old machine.

thanks.

Possibly because its a very slow pinhole leak and it just shows up then.
