Dishwasher leaking at beginning of cleaning cycle

Dear Enlightened ones,

When I turn the dial to start wash and the water starts to fill, water leaks onto floor.

Any ideas, diagnostic techniques or sage wisdom would be appreciated.

Have a look at the fill hose port-- item 37 below-- while it's filling. You can use a mirror and flashlight looking underneath along that side or pull the dishwasher out a few inches.

a Very Belated and Humble Arigoto,

The water hose to the fill valve was bent and the clamp that held the water to the valve couldn't handle the extra pressure. Straightening out the hose made all the difference in the world.

I will go back to deep meditation now.
