The short answer
Most leaks on the BD line trace to one of four places: the door seal, a cracked or obstructed spray arm, a hose or valve fitting behind the toe panel, and a weeping pump seal. The order they should be checked in is not the order of cost — it is the order of how quickly each one can be ruled out. With a single model under this name, the ranking below is the ranking for your machine rather than an average over a range.
What you observe on these models
- The leak only appears during the wash phase — Nothing during fill or drain, water only while the pump is driving the arms — that points at the spray path rather than a fitting.
- A puddle under the centre of the cabinet with a dry door — The water is arriving from behind the toe panel, so the door seal is not the suspect.
- Foam rather than clear water at the sill — Suds carry over the seal at a level clear water would not reach; the leak is a symptom of the detergent, not of the door.
- Damp or lifting flooring in front of the machine — A slow leak that has been running for weeks, which usually means a fitting rather than a seal — seals fail faster and wetter.
- NEAR MISS — water only when the sink is used — That is a plumbing or disposer connection leak sharing the cabinet, not a fault of the machine. Different page, different trade.
Causes, most likely first on the BD line
- Cracked spray arm or a loose upper-arm feed — Most likely here. Arms are plastic, they are in the hottest part of the cycle, and they are the part most often cracked by a dropped utensil.
- Door gasket fouled, folded or perished — Second on this family. Detergent film builds along the lower run of the gasket and stops it sealing long before the rubber itself is worn out, so this is the cause that looks expensive and is usually free to fix.
- Circulation or drain pump shaft seal weeping — Third, and less common. Pump seals run hot and wet for every minute of every cycle, so they are the part that fails from hours rather than from abuse.
Check in this order, and why
- Lift both spray arms out and look through them — Spin each one by hand, check every jet is open, and look for a split along the underside where water would escape sideways.
- Run a finger round the whole door gasket — Feel for a fold at the lower corners and for the greasy film that stops it sealing. Wipe it and run a short cycle before doing anything else.
- Look under the toe panel with a torch after a full cycle — A dry base pan with a wet floor means a fitting. A wet pan directly beneath the motor means the seal.

Safety
Kill the power at the breaker first: a capacitor can hold a charge after the power is off. Treat standing water as if it holds glass, scoop it out rather than feeling through it, and leave the door interlock alone — it is what keeps scalding water inside the cabinet.

When to call a technician
The line is the toe panel. In front of it — gasket, arms, detergent, loading — is owner work. Behind it, a pump seal or a cracked base means the machine comes out, the supply gets shut off, and the job needs a service call. Call the same day if water has reached an adjacent cabinet or a wooden floor, because the damage outruns the repair.
