Leak detection error; machine stops and may run drain pump continuously with E15 or leak symbol.

Safety first: Disconnect power and close water supply. Be prepared for water on the floor.

• Inspect base tray: Remove the front kick panel and check the base tray for water. If full, carefully sponge or vacuum out the water.
• Locate leak source: With the tray dry, briefly restore water and observe under the machine while it fills. Look for drips from hoses, pumps, valves, or tank seams.
• Tighten and repair: Tighten loose hose clamps, replace cracked hoses, and inspect pump shaft seals. Replace any visibly damaged components.
• Check float switch: Ensure the anti-flood float moves freely and its microswitch is not stuck in the activated position.
• Test again: After repairs, ensure the base tray is completely dry, then run a test cycle while monitoring for leaks.
