Have to pull the disherwasher out so you can access the undercarriage. Two plugs to remove off of the posts and two nuts. Very easy to do.

Water leaking onto high temp connector.
Tools
Adjustable wrench.
Repair & Advice
Heating element was found to be leaking onto high temp disconnects from the inside tube down underneath. Original heating element contained Porcelain which held 2 o-rings to seal the connector side of the heating element from the water on the tub side. Issue was this piece line wire away and subsequently caused a leak. The new heating element ordered from PartsDr was an oem fit with no issue. I also observed that instead of porcelain a more sturdy and rigid copper material was used to creat the pressure for the o-rings which works great.
