Hello all, I have a brand new 5 year old Maytag that was finally installed about 2 months ago. Bought it as a set, remodel was pushed off, finally done now, and finally have dishwasher installed. Model Number is MDB8969SDM2. I have a "leak" on the left side of the machine and I found it because my brand new cabinets to the left of the dishwasher have rotted out. I pulled out the machine, and it appears steam/condensation is escaping from the two square holes on top of the gray inlet valve. I can't find any other vent on the dishwasher, so I think steam is forcing its way out the inlet valve. I've seen a few older forums with the same issue but no fixes. Can I tape over or plug those two holes?? The place I bought it from, as well, as Maytag has been less than helpful. Thanks for any help.
