Dishwasher Leak
Hi Guys,
I have a sensor in the underside assembly that's leaking (slow).
I replaced the o-ring but it still leaks. Any ideas on how to seal it?
Maybe a giant glob grease?

My crystal ball is not working tonight.
What sensor ?
A make and model of the appliance would be helpful.

A glob of grease will not work at least not for any amount of time.
I do not see just a replacement O-ring in the parts so where did you get the replacement?
The size of it would be critical.
Are you sure that it is the sensor is leaking or is it leaking higher up and just dripping off the sensor.
To check a flashlight and a small mirror are usually needed.

(A glob of grease will not work at least not for any amount of time.)
Yeah, that's kinda why I'm here. Looking for other ideas.
(I do not see just a replacement O-ring in the parts so where did you get the replacement? The size of it would be critical. )
I found the spec for the o-ring somewhere, purchased exact same size at a supply store.

Definitely the sensor, its on the bench so I can see the leak clearly.

Then all I can suggest is that you get a new sensor with the O-ring.
Note. I always put a light coating of grease (not a glob) on any seals/O-rings when I replace them.
They go in smoother and also it stops them from grabbing/twisting etc.
