Crosley Dishwasher leaking from motor area
If your Crosley dishwasher is leaking from motor area, the problem is usually a worn shaft seal or dishwasher pump seal leaking around the motor shaft. In many cases, the fix is a new shaft seal, seal kit, or impeller and seal kit, since those parts fail more often than the full pump and motor assembly. If the leak is coming from the pump area and the seal or impeller can’t be replaced separately, or the motor shaft is rusted, replacing the pump and motor assembly is often the better repair. Less often, a cracked water inlet valve can cause a Crosley dishwasher leaking under motor condition, and a damaged or loose drain hose can also leave water near the pump area underneath the unit. Start by pinpointing exactly where the water is coming from so you do not replace the wrong part. If your dishwasher leaking from pump area is tied to the motor shaft, focus on the seal components first, then move to the pump and motor assembly if needed.

01 - Crosley 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 - Crosley 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 - Crosley 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 - Crosley 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.
