Dishwasher leaking from bottom

Dishwasher Repair

Dishwasher is dripping water where pump and motor are inserted. Is this an O ring problem or does the pump and motor need to be replaced?

I cannot say what is leaking.

Does sound like just a seal problem but you could check this with a flashlight and a mirror.

A mechanics mirror is handy here. It is like a dentist’s mirror just larger.
In a pinch a small mirror taped to a dowel at an angle will do the job.
I have even used one of the wife’s makeup compacts.

This should let you see where the leak is originating.
