I have an old portable whirlpool dishwasher that was given to me. Last week I heard it make a light pop, then it started spilling all the water on the floor from the back side.
I can turn on the water with the hose connected and it doesn't leak. It's when I start the washer, it takes a huge potty and I do mean huge. I'm not sure how it wouldn't spill out with water on, but appears to have something to do with the connection to the tub itself? I'm not sure how to get back there to even look...
I've tried looking up the causes to see if I could possibly fix it myself or if it'd be a cheap enough fix worth doing...but there is where I am stumped.
It's old, and though I've been spoiled with this clunker, I need to be practical if it's worth trying to fix or not. Does it sound ready for the scrap yard or worth trying to revive?
I put it up on a swap site [noting issue and as a give away], people are nibbling...figure I best be sure.
