Dacor 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
Damp that never fully clears
A marine climate with a long cool season means a cold seal and a condensate path rarely dry out between cycles, and a perished gasket passes a visual check while still letting air in.
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
EBMUD's Mokelumne supply runs 1 to 7 grains per gallon — soft to moderate, and well below the Contra Costa side of the tunnel. Scale is seldom the explanation here, which usually points the diagnosis at the valve, the filter or the line rather than at mineral.
