Hello I'm having a massive leak with my whirlpool gold dishwasher. Yesterday I was walking to my microwave when I stepped into a flood of hot water. It was alot but let me back up a bit and start from the beginning. The past 8 months or so I've had the plumber my realty company uses for their properties on speed dial. I kept telling this man the way my kitchen sink was stopping up was not normal we had a problem. He kept coming out here and pulling out a clog not looking any further into it and leaving. Within a few days I'd start calling him for it being clogged again.
But he would take his sweet time coming back out here. Im talking weeks. He had it in his mind this was from kitchen grease and I was causing it even though I adamantly denied the possibility of accumulating that much grease that rapidly when I hardly ever cook at that. It pretty much stayed clogged that entire time. Then when it slowly drained I would run a load of dishes and water would be stuck in the bottom of my unit causing me to need to drain it 10+ times for 1 dish load. It would leak from the door too. Again this went on and on for 8 months to the point I was losing my cool with this plumber.
This week he finally took me serious after I complained about his bandaid fixes to my realty company. That got his butt out here! Sure enough what do ya know I was right all along
our kitchen pipe totally caved in he said. I'm not sure how he managed to miss that for 8 months but moving along.... Now that he fixed it i ran a load of dishes. I thought it had been leaking because there wasnt anywhere else for the water to go but now i know this issue broke something within my dishwasher because it's still happening now that my plumbing is fixed. My husband looked up under it and said it appears to be leaking from the bottom left side of the unit.
