Hello all,
May I first just say hello as you will see I am a newbie here.
This morning before I set off for work I put the DW on, but soon noticed it was leaking badly (being a tabletop it was more noticeable). So I switched it to drain out all the water, opened it up and took a look from where it was leaking (bottom lefthand corner of door).
The seal looked gunky and like it was coming away. I had to leave for work so didn’t have a chance to try anything, I just had to mop up the water and leave it.
Comet want nothing to do with me as it has been 22 months since I bought it, so I was wondering if this was something I could fix myself, if the seal needs replacing? I’m willing to give it a good go!
I would really appreciate any help, I am strapped for cash at the moment and need to avoid calling an engineer if at all possible. If it helps, the DW had had a week’s break – is it possible the seal has dried out?
Many thanks in advance.
Re: Proline PDW041 leaking from door
Just to help anyone who searches on this topic in future, i have sorted the problem for now (I think). Took door off and found seal was terribly gunked in limescaley gunge as were the surrounding bits – 22 months worth presumably. Cleaned it with white vinegar, put it back on and no longer leaking. Fingers crossed this sorts it!
