Hello,

I have a Maytag MDB4050AWB Dishwasher that hasnt been draining for a while now. When I ran into the problem I removed the water and figured I would get back to it. Its been about two months and the kids have learned their lesson about cleaning the food off the plates. So when I started working on it today I seen it was leaking in the draining process. I figured that the water was coming from another spot because it wasnt draining I cleaned the drain hose out and now it drains but it still leaks above the motor on both sides where there the drain hose is and I believe where the feed or water hose on the otherside. I doubled checked the hose clamps on both sides but I am afraid its coming from an internal source Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Oh yeah how do you get to the drain basket on this machine also?

Thanks
