Place the leak in the sequence
Note whether water first appeared during filling, circulation, draining or after the machine had stopped. Include any recent change to a sink connection or waste hose. A dishwasher, disposer and sink can share nearby pipework, so water beneath them does not prove that the appliance body is the source.
Photographs should show the arrangement safely
An existing wide photograph can be more useful than a close-up of a wet patch because it shows the surrounding connections. Keep clear of electrical fittings and do not pull the appliance forward, undo pipes or run another cycle to obtain evidence. The buttons on this page separate the different repair enquiries available to discuss from Green Street Green.
