Is the water coming from the unicouple that attaches to the faucet? My 57 Mobile Maid leaks here too, in fact it sprays out until the first fill begins and then only drips through the remainder of the cycle. There looks like a rubber seal that is supposed to seat around the faucet adapter that is dried out and isn't able to make a good seal until the water valve relieves the pressure on the line, allowing it to grip the faucet adapter. This unicouple looks old enough that it might be possible to disassemble it and replace that rubber o-ring but the machine is in need of a new home anyway and I may just let the next owner work on that.
When I first found the dishwasher, it leaked at the water valve where the hose from the faucet screws on. That was a simple fix, remove the front panel and replace the washer at the end of the hose. Hope you get it solved, they are fun machines and I don't think I could sleep until my handwashing drudgery was relieved. :-) | ||

If the simple, easy fixes don't work: You can go online to ebay and other sites and find a new unicouple (around 80 dollars, unfortunately). You'll have to change the adapter that attaches to your sink faucet, but those and cheap and easy to replace. The new unicouple will have to be attached to the machine in two different places: at the pump with a clamp and to the inlet solenoid which usually uses a normal threaded female end. Takes some doing but you only have to be handy with wrenches and screwdrivers.
And to add what Tom and Greg said already, make sure all the existing adapters are on tight and that all of the seals and washers are in place. All that stuff comes loose really easily with portable connections. If I don't attach my unicouple "just right" every time I use my Mobile Maid, I'm rewarded with a nasty spritz of hot water aimed straight for the face.
Good luck. And if you need more help, post some pictures of what you're talking about. | ||
