Hi I have the above dishwasher that when called to house the drain pump was working constantly even with the door opened so I pulled out m/c and found the base full of water. I decided to take it home to the shed and work on it there. I have put it through 4 washes now and no leak. Has anybody come across this before and is there a known place where it could just be leaking a tiny bit and over time it builds up. I would also like to know is there a certain way to take the base off this m/c I can see there are 4 screws holding it to top of dishwasher .

Re: Bosch sgv53e03gb/50 dishwasher leak
Main motor shaft seal, pin hole in heater box, rusted tub, circl pump gasket, loose salt cont. nut…..err?…..I’m struggling now….no, I give up, my brain hurts. Too much sun sat beside my pool maybe to blame..yay!
Re: Bosch sgv53e03gb/50 dishwasher leak
Could be motor seals (put on long hot wash and wait); could be overfilling if the metering system and the hose to the sump on the left side is blocked, salt unit nut under cap loose, front seal between door and tub lip could be split.
A strange, difficult to find and sometimes intermittent fault is a salt grain hole. Does the customer use salt? If so take the filters out and look carefully around the edge where the stainless filter sits. Look for a small pin hole created by a single salt grain trapped between the filter and the sump pressing. If this is the problem, the leak will only manifest itself when on the hottest and longest washes.
Or you can take the side panels and door skin off, put a powerful torch inside the dishwasher with the baskets and filter out, shut the door, switch off the lights in the workshop and look for a small beam of light around the sump underneath. If the hole is on a flat piece of the stainless base, then you can drill and bolt it with a brass or stainless bolt and washers. If more than likely it is on the pressed edges, then it’s BER.HTH,
Steve.
