Possible Causes

Split sump hose, Loose hose clamp, Leaking drain pump housing, Cracked outer tub

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the washer and turn off water supply. Water on the floor can be slippery—mop up spills promptly.

Step-by-step checks:

  • Access underside: Remove rear or bottom panel. Run a short fill cycle while observing (with caution) to locate drips.
  • Check sump hose: Inspect the large black hose from tub to pump for splits or loose clamps. Replace hose or tighten clamps as needed.
  • Inspect pump: Look for leaks around the pump body and filter cap. Replace the pump or its seal if leaking.
  • Assess tub: If water appears from the tub seam or a visible crack, a tub replacement is required—usually a professional repair.
