Cochese for Model Number SHX46A05UC/40 Hi - I noticed my DW was leaking a bit from the base so I removed some panels, ran a cycle and found the leak at the base of the thermistor. Water slowly wells up around the metal base where it meets the plastic housing, especially near the clamps (where there are notches in the housing, which seems ill-advised, but anyway). I removed the thermistor and inspected the housing and all other areas of the heating element - no cracks or other issues. The o-ring seal did look a little scuffed on one side, so I turned it around and put the "good" side water-side down, re-ran a cycle and same result. I have ordered the factory seal and will try again soon with that new part. But I'm wondering if I'm missing something. Has anyone seen this problem before? Could it be as simple as a bad seal, even if to my (admittedly untrained) eyes the current seal doesn't look all that bad? Thank you!
Answer Cochese, with the unit leaking at the thermistor the issue would be caused by the seal. If the seal is bad then it will cause the issue. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Friday, October 24, 2014
