How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit and turn off water supply before inspecting leaks.
- Identify leak source: Run a short cycle while observing (from a safe distance) to see where water appears. Then unplug and inspect that area.
- Inspect door boot: Check the door boot gasket for tears, holes, or mold damage. Replace if compromised.
- Check hoses and clamps: Inspect the tub-to-pump hose, pump-to-drain hose, and inlet hoses for cracks or loose clamps. Tighten or replace as needed.
- Examine pump housing: Look for cracks or leaks at the drain pump. Replace the pump assembly if leaking.
- Control suds: Ensure HE detergent is used in correct amounts to prevent foam overflow.
