Washer-dryer leaks water from the rear or bottom during wash or rinse

Safety first: Unplug the appliance and close the water tap. Tilt the machine only with assistance to avoid injury.

Step-by-step checks:

• Identify leak source: Remove the rear panel and run a short fill cycle while observing (use a torch). Look for drips from hoses, pump, or tub seams.
• Check hoses and clamps: Inspect the tub-to-pump hose, recirculation hoses, and drain hose connections. Tighten clamps or replace hoses that are cracked or swollen.
• Inspect tub seal: If water appears around the motor shaft area, the main tub bearing seal may be leaking. This often requires replacing the entire tub assembly on Balay combos.
• Repair or replace: Replace any leaking hose or clamp. For tub or seal leaks, consult a professional due to the complexity and cost.
