Why does my dishwasher leak from underneath? Can I fix it myself or do I have to return it?

If u are using rinse aid, stop using and run couple of cycles without. Rinse aid causes these dishwashers to have too many suds when mixed with the detergent, thereby causing leaks. Those dishwasher tablets work best for these small washers. The tabs contain a small oamount of Rinse aid. Whenever I fill the built-in reservoir with Rinse Aid mine too oozes out. Once I stopped using rinse aid, the issue stopped. Try that if it still leaks then return, try running and dont add soap until the rinse aid dissappears. Then use tabs once Rinse Aid is gone, this works for me.

Yes, just drive the metal pin out, remove the handle and place the washer under the handle. This will not repair a leaky valve, I've tried it. Leaks are from worn rubber seals inside the key cover. Replace the cover and be done with it. It may take 15 minutes to replace the valve and rubbers seals within.

I bought mine new too and it doesn't leak. If that is the case, I might consider returning it. However, the plug is tricky to get into place and the first time, I actually didn't have it all the way in. I would double check that the plug is pulled all the way through the bottom. There is a little lip on the plug that will come out the button and be firmly in place to the plastic base. Hope this helps!

I don't use a dishwasher, but I would suggest running it through the dishwasher to see if that remedies the problem. In addition, rinse thoroughly under the faucet after using to lessen the chance of it retaining odor of the liquids you are using it with.

No, I have not had any leaking, I have washed it many times, even put it in the dishwasher, but no leaking, it must be a defective mug, sorry.

Mine did not leak. If yours is leaking, it's probably a manufacturer's defect and you should return it.

Mine leaks too, no matter what I do and it's brand new. It doesn't leak at the hose, but between the plastic connectors.

Mine is fine now. At first I installed it with the washer on the inside and it leaked like crazy. then I read the instructions (I rarely do this, lol) and when I put it together the right way, it didn't leak a drop.

Did you notice a rubber washer? It sounds like the washer may have not been seated properly so water leaked in it.

It may leak because it is liquid. It leaks a little with the dish soap and that is thicker than mouthwash so caution.

Amazon shows this has a Limited lifetime warranty - against material defects and workmanship. If you've changed the washers & it still has some leaks, I'd contact the company.

I also bought mine from Costco. I've had it for over a year with no problem, but it started leaking recently from the bottom of the handle. You should return it for a new one.

No, It needs to be repaired correctly. Take it apart and reseal. Call a plumber. The damage the water leak can do will far outweigh the cost of the repair.

Gas leak? Water leak? You haven't given us a lot to work with here. I don't mean to be flip, but the first thing you should do is find another plumber.

mine had fallenout only once. just make sure you push it in really well. i don't put mine in the dishwasher either. i just rinse after every use. maybe if you put it in the dishwasher it changed its size from the heat? if it diesnt work then return it. good luck!

Replace the entire unit; at least, that's what the folks at InSinkErator told me. The unit I had did not feature a replaceable connection at the top which is where it leaked.....
