Review on ๐Ÿงบ Camco 20600 - 20.5"x24" Dishwasher Drain Pan | Leak Detection & Flooring Protection | Rust-Free & Crack-Resistant, White by Jeremy Marshall

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Dodged a bullet! - Kitchen

My intake valve cracked and sprayed ultra-fine mist under DW. I took the cap off but couldn't see where the leak was coming from. DW got the wrong soap before (don't ask) and I thought that was the case again. I cleaned everything and went to bed. The morning before DW there was water all over the floor again so I looked closed and BINGO there was a thin crack on the intake valve. Fixed the leak, pulled out the valve and ordered another one. I also ordered this pan. In my kitchen, the tiles don't reach the wall under the DV (crazy right?), which I didn't realize before this small fix. If the water were to flow backwards instead of forwards, it would seriously damage the subfloor. This palette and a battery-powered DW alarm will prevent that forever. Yes, it's open in the front and doesn't hold much water, but it does prevent hidden, long-term leaks. This is the purpose of water signalling. That's a lot cheaper than a $5,000 deductible! Just a word to the wise.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • disappears
