Electrolux Dishwasher leaking from motor area
If your Electrolux dishwasher is leaking from the motor area, start by pinpointing where the water is coming from underneath the tub. The most likely cause is a failed shaft seal or pump seal leaking at the motor shaft, which is why an Electrolux dishwasher leaking from pump area often needs a new shaft seal, seal kit, or impeller and seal kit first. If the seal cannot be replaced separately, or the motor shaft is rusted and the new impeller will not fit, the pump and motor assembly is the next most likely fix. A dishwasher leaking under motor can also be caused by a cracked water inlet valve that drips near the motor area, or a damaged drain hose leaking at the drain pump outlet port. When you are dealing with an Electrolux dishwasher leaking from motor area, checking these parts in order can save time and avoid replacing more than you need. Enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact replacement shaft seal, impeller and seal kit, pump and motor assembly, water inlet valve, or drain hose for your specific dishwasher.
01 - Electrolux Dishwasher Shaft Seal
First, try to determine the source of the leak. If the water is leaking from the motor shaft area, the motor shaft seal is likely defective. If the seal is defective, replace it. (Some manufacturers sell the seal independently of the impeller. Other manufacturers require that you purchase the impeller and seal together. Still other manufacturers require that you purchase the entire pump and motor assembly instead of the impeller and seal. It is more cost effective to replace the seal kit rather than the impeller and seal.)

04 - Electrolux Dishwasher Pump and Motor Assembly
If the dishwasher is leaking water from the motor area, the entire pump and motor assembly need to be replaced. First, try to determine the source of the leak. If the water is leaking from the drain pump, the impeller and seal is likely the cause. On most dishwashers, you can replace the impeller and seal kit independently of the drain pump. However, if you do not want to disassemble the pump, or if the impeller and seal kit is not available separately, you can replace the entire pump and motor assembly. In addition, if the motor shaft is rusted and the new impeller won’t fit onto the shaft, replace the pump and motor asse...
Highly Likely
05 - Electrolux Dishwasher Water Inlet Valve
A dishwasher's water inlet valve opens following a short drain cycle to fill the tank with water in preparation for the wash cycle. If the inlet valve is cracked or damaged, the dishwasher can leak water near the motor area beneath the dishwasher tank.
Common
06 - Electrolux Dishwasher Drain Hose
A dishwasher leak near the motor area could be caused by damaged drain hose. Confirm the hose is secured to the drain pump outlet port and check for any cracks or holes in the hose itself. Replace a damaged drain hose with a new one.
