How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the washer and close the water taps. Tilt the machine only slightly and carefully to avoid injury.

  • Step 1 – Locate the leak:
    • Remove the rear and/or bottom panel.
    • Run a short fill cycle while observing (keep clear of moving parts).
    • Identify the exact point where water drips or sprays.
  • Step 2 – Tighten or reposition clamps:
    • If water leaks at a hose connection, tighten the clamp or reposition the hose fully onto the spigot.
  • Step 3 – Replace damaged hoses:
    • If the tub-to-pump hose or drain hose is cracked or soft, replace it with an Arctic-compatible hose.
    • Secure with new clamps if the old ones are corroded.
  • Step 4 – Check dispenser hose:
    • Inspect the hose from the detergent drawer to the tub for splits or loose connections.
    • Replace if necessary.
  • After repairs, run a full cycle and recheck for leaks.
