Appliance Repair ExpertThere are a few reasons why dishwashers will leak. Most commonly, they tend to leak from the left or right side of the door or even simultaneously on both sides due to a worn out gasket. Another reason may be that the rubber tubing and hoses of the dishwasher have been punctured by a piece of glass or even rodents chewing the tubing.
