I just had my dishwasher apart to repair a motor bearing. Probably had a few more parts off than needed. When I reassembled, I am getting a water leak from the pressure switch. It did not seem to be a water tight fit when I put it back on. Is it supposed to be sealed with some type of glue or something?

No if it fails in the future you would not be able to get it off.

I hate the spring clamps often they will not reseal correctly unless you get it in it's original position. Sometimes not even then.

Where ever possible I replace them with a screw clamp.

Always a possibility that it now has a hairline crack/cut.

It is not leaking where the hose clamps on. It is leaking where the pressure switch or soil sensor fits on. That piece is held on by a screw. I guess I need a new pressure switch/soil sensor?

Check out this part. Part Details - WHIRLPOOL Switch, pressure, part number: AP3182693
Where that fits on the sump assembly is where it leaks, not the hose onto that piece.
