Started Leaking Bottom Of Tub, Front Right Side From Small Hole.

Hello,    Our dishwasher just sterted this.  It is leaking at the front right side at the bottom of the tub.  It is NOT at the door gasket.  There is a small hole in which water is draining out.  The water starts leaking just as the wash cycle begins so the water is clean.   Any help will be greatly appreciated.  Bill

Thank you for your help.  The hole is round and obviously part of the manufacturing process.  Next to the hole is a raised (pointing down towards the floor) moulded part of the tub.  This raised portion is about 3/8 thick and is a half circle approximately 3/4" to 1" radius.  It is a half circle shape as if the other half of the circle is inside the tub.  It is not removable and there is nothing under it.  The water gushes out of the hole covering the floor rapidly but does not appear to be pressurized.

There should not be any hole in the unit at that location, unless it is a hole in the tub itself. If this is the case you would need to see if any splash guards are installed. If not, Frigidaire has them for your unit, part number 154701001 to help this. If you have a hole in the tub itself, you require a professional service visit to assess the damages and possible repairs.
