How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power and close water supply. Use caution around hot water and slippery floors.
- Inspect door or hood gasket: Check the perimeter gasket for tears, flattening, or gaps. Replace the gasket if it no longer seals evenly when the door or hood is closed.
- Check under the machine: Remove lower panels and run a short cycle while observing for drips from pumps, heaters, and hoses. Tighten clamps and mounting bolts as needed.
- Examine hoses: Look for cracks or bulges in the drain and fill hoses. Replace any compromised hoses with Insinger-approved parts.
- Verify water level control: If water is overflowing the tank, inspect the float and level switch for sticking or misadjustment and correct as necessary.
