It sounds like the pump may have a damaged impeller or pump housing is damaged. The pump housing and/or the seals could also deteriorate or become damaged, causing the dishwasher to leak. Usually this means the pump and motor need to be replaced.

The tools you would need would be:

  • Nut driver set
  • Torx screwdriver
  • Channel-lock pliers
  • Rinse aid (to lubricate the pump seal)
  • Towel
  • Work gloves

Below is a step-by-step video on how to go about replacing the pump and motor in a safe and effective way:
