Likely Causes
  1. Water has leaked into the base of the DishDrawer unit, triggering the flood protection switch
  2. A hose connection inside the drawer has come loose or cracked
  3. The wash motor seal or sump gasket has developed a leak
  4. The door seal is worn or displaced, allowing water to drip into the base during wash cycles
How to Fix It
1
Turn off the water supply and disconnect power to the DishDrawer
2
Carefully slide the affected drawer out fully and tip the unit back slightly to allow trapped water to drain from the base pan
3
Remove the base cover or access panel and use towels to soak up any remaining water
4
Inspect all internal hose connections, the wash motor seal, and the door seal for the source of the leak
5
After repairing the leak, dry the base pan completely and reset the flood switch before restoring power
