The "flood warning E15 has come on. It happened once before and I got into
the base to drain the stupid little pot that collects the spillage. I
couldn't see any shource of a leak, Emptied it and it carried on for about
a year.

I need to do it again - but I can't recall how I removed the trim on the
bottom of the front. I recall that last time I removed the front of the
door first = but reflected that I hadn't needed to. Any advice before I do
it again.

Done it ! Not sure how - but wiggling an pulling seemed to work.

Stupid design of a little sump with no means of emptying it. Presumably a
terminal falure situation after a costly service call for most people.

Emptied it - but can't see an obviousl leak point.

I had the same problem with Siemens dishwasher. I tightened up the
screws inside, around the top of the drain/filter and that
extended the time between E15 error codes. I think there is a
seal underneath those screws which fails - design
fault.
