How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Turn off power and water immediately to prevent damage. Mop up any spilled water to avoid slipping.
- Inspect door seal: Open the door and examine the door gasket around the tub opening for tears, deformation, or heavy grease. Clean with warm soapy water and replace if damaged.
- Check spray pattern: Overloading or tall items can deflect spray towards the door. Re-load correctly and test.
- Inspect base: Remove the plinth and side panels to look for drips while running a short cycle (use caution). Tighten any loose hose clamps and replace cracked hoses.
- Sump and tub: If water appears around the sump area, inspect the sump seal and tub for cracks. Replace the sump assembly or tub if leaking.
