The short answer
A leak on the DIS 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
- 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.
- A stain or rust line always in the same spot on the tub floor — A seam or heater-gasket weep, which is slow, repeatable and worst on full loads.
- Water across the floor at the front of the door — A line of water along the door sill after a cycle, usually widest at one lower corner rather than evenly spread.
- 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.
- 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 DIS line
- Door gasket fouled, folded or perished — Most likely here. 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.
- Cracked spray arm or a loose upper-arm feed — Second on this family. The upper feed coupling is the joint that gets knocked by the rack, and once it is off-centre it sprays sideways at full pump pressure.
- Fill or drain hose connection, or the inlet valve body — Third, and less common. This is the cause that soaks a floor quietly, because the water tracks along the base pan and appears somewhere other than where it started.
Check in this order, and why
- 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.
- 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.
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 DIS 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.
