The short answer
A leak on the DIN line is far more often a door-seal or spray-path problem than a failed tub. Water that reaches the floor from the front of the cabinet is being thrown or wicked past the door, and that is a two-minute inspection before any panel comes off. A leak that appears under the middle of the machine, with a dry door face, is a different fault and a different job. This is a compact family, so the ranking below is drawn from how these particular machines are put together rather than from the brand at large.
What you observe on these models
- 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.
- Water on the sill before the wash has even started — Filling past the level the tub should hold; the wash has not begun, so nothing is being thrown anywhere.
- 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 DIN line
- Fill or drain hose connection, or the inlet valve body — The leading cause on this platform. A fitting drip does not care what the machine is doing — it is there on a cold machine, which is what separates it from every other cause on this list.
- Door gasket fouled, folded or perished — Close behind it. The gasket takes every door slam and every hot cycle, and it is the only part of the water boundary that has to move; that is why it leads the list on almost any dishwasher.
- Cracked spray arm or a loose upper-arm feed — Third in order, and the one most often missed. Arms are plastic, they are in the hottest part of the cycle, and they are the part most often cracked by a dropped utensil.
Check in this order, and why
- Check the fittings behind the toe panel on a cold machine — Dry them completely, leave the machine off for an hour, and look again — only a pressurised fitting wets itself with the machine idle.
- 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.
- 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.
Before you open anything
Safety
Switch the machine off at its breaker before a panel comes off or a hand goes into the sump — a capacitor can hold a charge after the power is off. Shut the supply valve under the sink before disturbing a fitting, and never wedge the door interlock to watch a wash run.

When to call a technician
Anything you can see and reach with the door open is worth trying yourself. A leak that survives the gasket, the arms and a detergent change is a sealed-system or pump job on the DIN line, and that means pulling the machine forward with the water off. Do not keep running cycles to reproduce it — every cycle puts more water under the floor.
