Hello everybody,

I found a Hobart era KitchenAid KDC-59 portable dishwasher (in Avocado!) hooked it up to test it, and it promptly leaked all over the floor. Any ideas what may be going on?

Take the lower panel off and see where it leaks when you run it, there is more than a dozen places where these are likely to leak.

Removing Bottom Panel

If it's like the 20 Series portable it looks like you it might be easier to lay the machine on it's back and remove screws from the bottom.  I had to do that on my KDS-57 to get the bottom panel off.  It was a pain but it worked.  Someone here might know an easier way but I don't see it looking at this diagram.
