 Why You Should Seal the Air Gap of Your Dishwasher The air gap is a small space between the dishwasher and the kitchen sink. It is used to prevent water from spilling onto the floor when you open the dishwasher. This is done by creating a seal that blocks any water from leaking out of the dishwasher. This article will help you understand how to seal the air gap of your dishwasher and why it is important for your safety. How to Seal the Air Gap of Your Dishwasher with the Right Tool for the Job The air gap is a critical component that prevents water from coming into contact with the electrical components of your dishwasher. If you notice that your dishwasher has an air gap leak, you should replace the bolts as soon as possible. Some people recommend using a wrench to remove the bolts, but this is not always the best option. Wrenches are designed to turn something around in circles, so they don't work well on nuts and bolts because they can easily slip off. This is why it's important to use the right tool for the job when fixing an air gap leak in your dishwasher. Common Causes for Low Water Pressure in a Dishwasher that May Require Replacing an Air Gap Bolt The air gap bolt is a common cause for low water pressure in a dishwasher. If it is leaking, then the dishwasher will not be able to produce enough water pressure and will need to be replaced. There are other causes for low water pressure in a dishwasher as well: like if the hose has been kinked, the hose has been crushed, there is an obstruction in the hose, or if there is a clog in the drain line. If any of these problems exist, they should be repaired before replacing the air gap bolt. Click here to see more
