    Evening,
    I have a Stoves DW 616/BB to repair, looks like one of the Brant types.
    On the left hand side, from the front, it is leaking from the lower side chamber. There is what looks like a breather hole in the middle, it flows quite fast down the side missing the base tray.
    The dishwasher does not look overfilled, anyone had the same fault? Not sure a new chamber will fix the problem, it doesn’t look blocked.

    Thanks for any advice

    just check to see if the inset on the breather/vent is tightened, to pull the seal onto the cabinet. when on wash the spray arms splashes water up against the casing, and it can weep past seal, and water trickles down the outer casing, and looks as if its coming from the seam.
    spread pointy nose pliers and place on the outer parts of the spokes on the vent, and tighten up. doesn’t take much. think that should help if i’m on the same model?.
    Tell..
    p.s. somtimes the clamp has dropped off and customer has chucked it out.

    Thanks for the advice.
    pretty sure it came out the chamber via a hole as it stopped when i put my finger on it. Tempting to just block it up but its got to be there for a reason, unless a tiny bung has fallen out.
