Flooding dishwasher - help!!!

[puzzled2403]

My Hoover HD97E dishwasher is flooding out during use. It seems to be flooding from the bottom right hand side corner. Any ideas on what might be wrong or what I;d have to do to fix it? Many thanks

Shouldn't get that full. This happened once when the sink thru which it drains became clogged from overloading the garbage desposal.

When mine flooded (Hotpoint) the man found that the drainage tube had been pushed sideways slightly, causing it to split and leak onto floor.

Other floods have been caused by someone putting a bit of washing up liquid in. It foams up and finds its way out then turns back to water.

Mine sometimes floods out when the filters get blocked - it also happens when the level indicator valve ceases to work through debris. You can find the level valve in the dishwasher, usually on the bottom bit where the element is, it's round and looks like it has a cap on it the size of a pop bottlelid. It needs pushing up and down and freeing if stuck, taking a bottle brush to it usually works. Also try using one of those dishwasher cleaner pruducts - did a good job on mine.
