CDA Internal Hose or Pump Leak

The washer leaks water from underneath the machine.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

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

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

Step-by-step checks:

Access underside: Remove the 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 the tub to the pump for splits or loose clamps. Replace the 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.
