Possible Causes

Torn door boot seal (front-load), loose or cracked drain hose, leaking tub-to-pump hose, faulty water inlet valve or dispenser housing

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Unplug the washer and turn off water supply. Mop up any standing water to avoid slipping.

Step-by-step checks:

  • 1. Identify leak location: Run a short fill cycle while observing the washer (panels on if safe). Note whether the leak occurs during fill, wash, or drain.
  • 2. Inspect door boot (front-load): Check the rubber door gasket for tears, holes, or mold damage. Replace the boot if compromised.
  • 3. Check hoses: Inspect the drain hose, tub-to-pump hose, and internal recirculation hoses for cracks or loose clamps. Tighten or replace as needed.
  • 4. Examine inlet valve and dispenser: Look for drips from the water inlet valve or dispenser housing during fill. Replace the leaking component.
