Possible Causes

Loose hose clamp on pump or heater, Cracked internal hose, Leaking pump seal, Corroded or cracked wash tank or sump

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power and close water supply. Use caution around standing water and electrical components.

Finding and fixing leaks:

  • Remove lower panels: Take off the Champion base or side panels to access internal components.
  • Inspect hoses and clamps: Check all hoses connected to the pump, heater, and drain for cracks or loose clamps. Tighten clamps and replace damaged hoses.
  • Check pump seals: Look for water trails from the wash or drain pump shaft area. A leaking mechanical seal usually requires pump replacement.
  • Examine tank and sump: Inspect welds and corners for corrosion or cracks. Small leaks may show mineral deposits. Repair or replace the tank/sump as needed.

When to call a technician: Pump seal and tank repairs often require specialized tools and parts; professional service is recommended.
