I noticed water seeping from our kitchen tile floor while dishwasher was running. There are no obvious leaks from dishwasher or below adjacent sink. There's quite a bit of water under tiles. What should we do?

More details please. When does the water seep out? When the DW fills? When it's running? When it discharges? Or all the time? Let me know, Tom

Thanks - the water seeps from under the tiles while the dishwasher is running.

I would remove the kick plate and check under there for the source of the leak. You can't began to repair a leak until you locate the source, Let me know what you find. Good luck, Tom

Hi Tom- I took off kick plate. It looks like there's water damage/mold at the back wall, underneath dishwasher and base board under sink. Water is leaking as soon as it starts under dishwasher.

You must completely remove the dishwasher and repair the mold damage, you should look closely at all supply water connections and drain connection as you do the uninstall

Bob's bang on but before I remove3d the DW for clean up I'd take a flashlight and look under the unit while I cycled it. I would really like to know exactly what's leaking. Get back to me with the results. Good luck. Tom
