A cracked fitting the size of a fingernail did all of this. π³ π΄
We pulled the dishwasher and found the subfloor blackened and delaminating across half the opening, moisture wicked sideways into the neighboring cabinet's toe-kick, and a mineral crust ringing the spot where water had evaporated in the same place over and over.
A gloved finger went straight through the floor.
Rotted subfloor cut out. Joists treated and dried. New moisture-resistant plywood installed. New toe-kick, new compression fitting, everything sealed and leak-tested before the dishwasher went back in.
Watch the new subfloor go down at second 4.
Dishwasher leaks are slow and quiet by nature. Nothing puddles on your kitchen floor because it all runs backward under the appliance where you never look.
