What gets damaged

What a KitchenAid leak can ruin if it is not dried

Cabinet bases

Particle board under cabinets swells and crumbles when wet.

Hardwood floors

Water under the dishwasher cups boards in front of it.

Island panels

Decorative island panels can warp and delaminate.

Drywall behind

Water wicks up the wall behind the dishwasher.

Subfloor

Water under tile or vinyl sits on the subfloor.

Hidden mold

Damp cabinet bases are a favorite spot for mold.

Island dishwashers

Why island leaks need extra care

When a dishwasher sits in an island, the plumbing runs through the floor, not the wall. Water has more places to go and fewer places to be seen.

Under the island

Water spreads under the whole island base. We remove toe kicks and, if needed, a small section of the cabinet floor to dry underneath.

Through the floor

Drain and supply lines often run down to a crawl space or basement. We check below for drips and wet joists.

Protecting countertops

Stone counters stay in place while we dry. We avoid removing cabinets unless they are truly ruined.

Rebuilding if needed

Swollen cabinet boxes or panels are replaced through our reconstruction service, matched as closely as possible.

Keep your KitchenAid from leaking

Use only automatic dishwasher detergent, never dish soap.

Do not overload so the door seals properly.
Check the drain hose under the sink twice a year.
Place a leak sensor in the sink cabinet.

FAQs

KitchenAid dishwasher leak questions

Why is my KitchenAid dishwasher leaking from the door?

The most common causes are a dirty or worn door gasket, using the wrong detergent, or overloading so the door does not seal. KitchenAid's own guides list these first.

Can the wrong detergent cause a leak?

Yes. Dish soap or too much detergent creates suds that push water out the door.

Does the dishwasher need to be level?

Yes. A dishwasher that tilts forward can leak from the door. An installer can adjust the leveling legs.

How do I know if my cabinets are water damaged?

Look for swelling, soft spots, peeling edges or a musty smell under the sink and next to the dishwasher. A moisture meter can confirm.

Is KitchenAid made by Whirlpool?

Yes. KitchenAid is a Whirlpool Corporation brand.

Do you repair KitchenAid dishwashers?

No. We handle water damage only. An appliance repair company fixes the dishwasher.
