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.
