Richard A. for Model Number Jenn Air Dishwasher JDB1255AWS0 This Jenn-Air has worked fine for 5 years, and it still does today. Cleans dishes just fine but after the machine is off, within a few hours there is a puddle of clean water at the bottom of the tub. I run the rinse cycle and it is drained and clean again. I thought is was fine but the next morning a pool of water leaking out the closed door. There is a round grey colored water device in the front right tub basin that sometimes seems to be leaking very slowly, while other times it is not leaking at all. Again, I ran the dishwater 5 or 6 times to see if some dirt or debris was opening this device but to no avail. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks
Answer Hello Richard, You should remove the inner door panel and look for water trails that would indicate where the leak is coming from. If none are evident, there is a good possibility that the leak can be from a "wave" in the water from a separating spray arm, or debris in the spray arm that would cause an uneven spray. If the water is leaking from the float for the overflow switch, this can only be caused by an over soap condition where the suds build up and are able to jump over the float tower. If the water appears to be coming from the front edge of the tub, this can be attributed to the spray arm conditions previously mentioned or an over soap condition. It can also be caused by a water valve not closing properly and creating an over filled condition in combination with a detergent build-up under the float, making it heavy and contributing to the over fill condition.
