There is a slow leak coming out the front right hand side of the dishwasher. How do I stop this?

The door seal may need replacement, the hot water may soften the seal and fix the leak.

Actually, I think some coffee got down into the base and triggered the flood sensor. (Or it may coincedentally be that your dishwasher has a leak that triggered the flood sensor). You would have to pull the DW out, remove the panel on the left and right-hand sides, and dry all the water (or coffee) out.

Does it seem to be coming from the door it self or from underneath the unit?

If it's coming from the door, check the seal or maybe replace it. It's easy enough and cheap.


(disconnect power before proceeding to the next step)
If it's coming from underneath the unit, first start a cycle to drain it then stop it. Pull the unit out and flip it to its side(have a couple towels ready), then remove the bottom cover and check hoses connects or any signs of leakage.

some mod have codes / could be suds lock or slow drain . i would ( if front loader ) clean out pump . hope this helps . ****

It is still under warantee-contact the company you bought it from. If you fix it yourself you could void the warantee.

I do not know the Kenwood dishwasher, hence I do not know what the E3 error is, but many dishwashers require a sustained pressure of at least 30 psi.
Can you please post the model number of your Kenwood dishwasher?

MX194 Dishwasher.

Switch off and unplug before doing anything. .

First three lights are flashing on top and it will not stop making stupid noises.

Remove plastic panels at front of machine under door, see if there is water inside.

If there is ... something is leaking. If it is a slow leak - solution is to dry up excess water in tray with paper towels or whatever comes to hand. You will need to find the leak somehow - salt container is usual suspect.

There is a microswitch attached to a float on the left hand side inside a white plastic cover. Water at the base of this activates the switch and disables machine. Mine has not leaked since trying this fix and machine is running well 2 months down the line. Better 10 minutes with paper towels than 2 hours of expensive plumbers.

change the door gasket. also check to see if the wall hasn't "sprung out" of position this will always cause leaks if the side walls aren't supported.
