    My trusty dishwasher is leaking dirty water from underneath. It’s the bottom right hand corner, where the waste pipe comes out and the feed goes in.

    Anything round there in particular which might be the culprit?

    thanks

    An update: I took off the tray underneath and it was bone dry. Does this mean it is leaking from around the door?

    The goalpost seals I can see – any pointers on accessing the bottom door seal?

    Crack in drain hose?

    there appears to be more than 1 leak. The door seal had come unscrewed so fixing that has stopped the main leak. When you run a wash now it’s as dry as a bone.

    BUT when I move the dishwasher by lifting it slightly at the front to put it back in place I get a thin trickle of a dirty water leak from somewhere underneath. Is this usual? Do they leak if they are tilted?

    thanks

    Is this the fill matrix?

    Softener unit, yes it should full of brown sludge. Fill matrix is on the side othe machine – remove r/h side panel to view.

    thanks Penguin – I’ve looked at the matrix and it seems OK. I’ve found a lot of dried gunk and a bit of moisture behind this round thing with the hoses going in. Can you tell me what it is, and whether they are known to leak?

    thanks
