Dishwasher Is Fixed

When I put the new dishwasher in and gave it a trial run, I noticed a few drops of water coming out of the main seal in the bottom. The seal goes between the whole dishwasher tub and the sump unit. I am not sure that’s what it’s called, but what I mean is the big round unit that attaches to the dishwasher underneath the whole thing. It’s about a foot wide and the motor connects to it.
I really wanted to ignore it, but I just couldn’t. I called the appliance store and they sent a guy out. We determined that the actual plastic of the sump unit was warped slightly. He ordered a new one.
Today, he came out with the new part and we put it in. We tightened up all the screws and ran it a run. No water to be seen. I am quite happy with the results.
As we were installing the new part, we kept on saying how it’s a shame that a slight warp in the plastic part can make the whole thing bad and have to be replaced. Oh well, I guess that’s how these things turn out.
