The best thing to do is turn the power off ,remove the bottom drawer by
pushing in the clips on side of the drawer ,just below the round
plugs. The clips are attached to runners, push them back to release
the drawer and ( after taking out the rack and spray arm) put the
drawer on its r.h.side. Mop up the all water in the base, then remove
the cover that goes over the back L.h. corner, this will expose the
mains/flood switch board ( make sure you dry the roof of the drawer
before you take the cover off , or water can drip onto the board
.....not a good thing!!!
).
To remove the cover, push in the clip in the middle front edge of the
cover with a flat blade screwdriverand slide the cover foward a
bit, then put the screwdriver under the clip and twist up, the cover
should now pull off to the right. Spend a couple of minutes drying the
board with a hair dryer and mop up any remaining water ( be careful of
the board again). Refit the cover and switch back on ( you shouldn't
need to force the cover on, just slide it on from right to left , but
you may have to push down the cover just above the clip to get it to
lock once it is located correctly). If it doesn't F1 again ,all good,
if it does , remove cover and redry, and repeat until it doesn't.
To refit drawer, slide out L.h. rail and sit drawer on it, then
lift right side of drawer and slide out other rail and sit other side
down. If the rails don't want to slide foward and lock, lift the
drawer at the front while sliding the rail fowarduntil the front
edge of the rail is just at the clipping gap at the side of the drawer,
then make sure the drawer is sitting down firmly on the rails and pull
clips foward to lock. If the drawer has been clipped in correctly it
will slide in and out nicely, if not , look at the back edge of the
drawer when it is fully open to see where it is sitting too high and
rectify by refitting the rail on the affected side/sides. By this
point if any part of the bottom drawer was broken ,you would have seen
it. Also check the top drawer by releasing it and pulling it
foward,shine torch in and have a good look.
Hopefully it won't leak again unless ther is a faulty part not visible to the naked
eye,
check by running one drawer for a couple of minutes, stop the cycle and
open the drawer and check the outsides for water ( don't be too worried
if you see water in the bottom between the drawers as it will drip from
the roof, unless the drain or fill hoses are split ) ,if ok, run the
other drawer and check.
Remember, if you get to a point where you don't feel confident with
what you doing or you think you might break something, leave it and
call a professional to do the job, you may save money in the long run
and if you going to expose wires or connections always switch off and
unplug before removing the cover, you dont know whats underneath
