The Dishwasher has started leaking when the Dry cycle kicks in. I've had
the hose off to check for cracks and tighted the clamp just now. It's
running another cycle to check for leaks again. But ti just occurred to
me that the drain hose was backed up with water when I took it off. Do DW
drains get clogged? Would the back pressure cause a leak?

Yes, the do get clogged, but that does not necessarily cause a leak. Does
it drain completely? If so, it is able to get rid of the water (but there
could be a restriction). Can you see what is leaking? Could be a hose,
loose clamp, bad seal in the pump housing, worn door gasket. You can get
more ideas at www.applianceaid.com and www.repairclinic.com

Tightening the hose clamp reduced the leak to a dribble, but it still leaked
about a cup. I did not see any water inside when I opened the door. I can't
really see where it's leaking as it's dripping down the back side of the
hose connection. This model has a drip spout (protection) over the motor
where the drain hose connects to the pump. There was no water running down
the drip spout, so it would appear to be the hose connection/drain.

I will have to drag it's sorry ass out of the hole tomorrow (damn) to
diagnose the problem.

Thanks.
