Haier Dishwasher leaking from motor area

If your Haier dishwasher is leaking from motor area components, start by pinpointing exactly where the water is coming from underneath the machine. In most cases, a dishwasher leaking from pump area trouble is caused by a worn motor shaft seal, which may be sold as a shaft seal, seal kit, or as part of an impeller and seal kit. If the seal has failed, replacing that kit is usually the most cost-effective fix. If the leak is tied to a damaged impeller, a rusted motor shaft, or you would rather avoid rebuilding the pump, the pump and motor assembly is the next most likely culprit. A Haier dishwasher leaking under motor parts can also be caused by a cracked water inlet valve or a damaged drain hose leaking near the drain pump outlet. Because several leaks can look similar once water spreads under the tub, matching the symptom to the right part matters. Enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact Haier replacement part for your dishwasher, whether you need a shaft seal, impeller and seal kit, pump and motor assembly, water inlet valve, or drain hose.

01 - Haier 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 - Haier 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...mbly.

05 - Haier 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 - Haier 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.
