Bosch SMS40C02GB/03 freestanding dishwasher. FD9107.
Machine is just out of warranty and is leaking quite badly. The seal between the stainless tank and the plastic base is letting by. The groove in which the seal sits has splayed out in several places and crusty deposits are around these areas. I have sealed one of these machines before and it was a pig of a job to stop it leaking.
Is it a known fault with this type? Is there any solution apart from the ‘cabinet off’ I did last time? What’s Bosch’s fix for it? Also concerned that if the groove is splayed, there is not really anything structural to hold the cabinet in place compressing the seal and avoiding possible recurrence.
Any help please!
Thanks,
Steve.
