Bosch Dishwasher Leaking
Dishwasher Leaking is usually one of a small number of specific, repairable causes — here's what to check and when it's worth calling a professional.
Common Causes
The hardest water in the Bay Area
Contra Costa Water District delivers around 7.2 grains per gallon in Concord, several times EBMUD's supply, and a valve held off its seat by deposit weeps continuously.
A clogged defrost drain
Melted frost backs up and overflows into the cabinet or onto the floor instead of draining away normally.
A worn or torn door gasket
Lets humid air in that condenses inside the cabinet or around the door frame.
Local conditions that matter here
Contra Costa Water District delivers around 7.2 grains per gallon in Concord, the hardest supply in the Bay Area network and several times EBMUD's 1 to 7 on the other side of the hills. A descaling routine a coastal kitchen can skip is not optional out here.
