    Water slowly filling dishwasher cabinet when not running. Seems to be a slow leak from the inlet line. Is this a problem with a seal somewhere?

Removed intake water valve assembly and found a piece of plastic wedged in intake port preventing valve from closing. Piece of plastic was old filler tube from old hot water tank which disintegrated and got into hot water pipes in home. Similar pieces of plastic have affected water mixer valves at various sinks in home and have also plugged aeration screens.

LX30H THROWS A CODE EO after running awhile. I hit the high reset button under the flaps on the front for both the boost and reg elements . It will work for a couple cycles and then does the same thing....

Machine won't fill or won't fill high enough. site water pressure meets minimum flow pressures. (LX18, LX30 display shows working.
"E0," "E2," "E3," or "E4". LX40 display shows "DR1 PRBLM," "FILL1 PRBLM," FILL2 PRBLM," or "FILL3 PRBLM". Machine will not run.)

1. Low water pressure - check for clogged hose strainer; check that

2. Make sure probes are clean

3. No water pressure - main water supply valves may not be

4. Drain valve open - turn machine OFF to drain machine, then
ON. Repeat twice (this assists in clearing any drain valve
obstructions). Wait for machine to reach READY mode and
press WASH. Slowly open door several seconds later and note
water level. Close door; 30 seconds later, open door slowly and
check that water level is the same as it was. If not, repeat the
OFF-ON procedure. If problem persists, call your local Hobart
Service Office.

Have a GE hot point HSS25GFTABB, removed doors to put inside house after a move and the ice maker works, but when you fill with water, it runs down the line dripping at the bottom of left door

Inspect the line crefully at the bottom of the door where it connects to the cabinet supply. The line may have been damaged when and if the doors were removed.
HOPEFULLY it is a small nick in the tubing casuing the water leak, and not the line inside the freezer door as the water line is foamed into the door and the entire door would have to be replaced to resolve an internal leak.
The coupler at the door connection is a push-lock syle coupler and to seperate the line you need to press the white collar into the blue barrel connector to relese the tension.
Good luck!

Water Pouring out of door, appliance stuck on wash

dishwasher leaking from the door or from the bottom of the door is common problem and yes its advisable to get it fixed.but if its having any other problem other then leaking then it has to be checked first.but leaking problem is common it can be solved.first from which part of the door area the leak is occuring that has to be checked.
Some common leaking trouble makers....
Leaks at the door:
Door gasket loose/torn
Corner gaskets or door baffle/vent gasket
Door lock/latch loose/broken
Split spray arm
Over filling with water...usually the level is just under the heating element is normal
Something leaking through the door...like the soap or rinse agent dispenser gasket, silverware basket button.
Door hinge(s) bent
Wrong soap was used...dish sink soap instead of dishwasher soap
Rinse aid being used with mechanically softened water ( makes foam or suds inside the dishwasher )

Leaks from under the unit:
Look for whiting or calcium stain on the motor and pump assembly = motor and pump assembly seal leak...access panel removal help
Hose for upper spray arm split
Fill hose split or fill hose spout air inlet is calcium covered
Drain hose is split
Rusted liner...metal liners only
Fill valve leaking or allowing water to fill all the time
Heating element ends....where they come out through the dishwasher liner
Float or float gasket

Leaks water from bottom of door. Error code E7 ?

I found this and it also may have to do with the door seals...how old is the unit...if door seals get old and stiff..(not soft and pliable) they sometimes leak...after usage the heat and moisture may cause them to swell and or become soft thereby sealing better...but this is what I found in the user manual.

Machine displays "E7" on LX30 model or "CLEAN PROBE" on LX40 model.
1. Clean water sensors inside tank.
It suggests contacting Hobart if this fails but I also found this problem is associated with fill issues...as in an E4 error...this what you do in that case....

Machine won't fill or won't fill high enough(LX18, LX30 display shows "E0," "E2," "E3," or "E4")

1.Low water pressure — check for clogged hose strainer; check that site water pressure meets minimum flow pressures.
2.Make sure probes are clean.
3.No water pressure — main water supply valves may not be working.
4.Drain valve open - turn machine off to drain machine, then on. Repeat twice (this assists in clearing any drain valve obstructions). Wait for machine to reach READY mode and press WASH. Slowly open door several seconds later and note water level. Close door; 30 seconds later, open door slowly and check that water level is the same as it was. If not, repeat the
OFF-ON procedure.
5. Delime machine.

Good Luck and I hope this helps...let me know if it doesn't and i am sure I can get to the bottom of it...thanks for rating my effort...the Fang.
