A single burst [washing machine](/blog/repair-or-replace-washer) hose can release over 500 gallons of water per hour at full line pressure. Even the slow leaks described in this recall can cause thousands of dollars in damage to flooring, subfloor, cabinetry, and drywall if left undetected. Water migrates beneath flooring materials invisibly, and in [Sacramento](/sacramento/sacramento)'s warm climate, mold colonization can begin within 24 to 48 hours of initial exposure.</p> <p>To protect against water damage from any appliance — not just those affected by this recall — install water leak sensors ( each with Wi-Fi alerts) behind washing machines, under dishwashers, and behind refrigerators. Replace rubber supply hoses with stainless steel braided hoses every 5 years ( per pair). Turn off supply valves when the appliance will not be used for extended periods. These inexpensive precautions prevent the vast majority of catastrophic appliance flooding events.</p> <h2>Frequently Asked Questions</h2> <h3>How do I prevent my portable dishwasher from tipping?</h3> <p>Until the recall kit is installed: place the dishwasher on a level surface, distribute heavy items between upper and lower racks (not all in the upper rack), support the door when opening with a loaded upper rack, and ensure the water supply hose is not pulling on the unit. The recall stabilizer kit adds counterweight to the rear base, shifting the center of gravity backward.</p> <hr> <p><strong>Worried about your dishwasher?
