How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the appliance and turn off water supply. Water may be present in the base; use caution to avoid slipping.

  • Inspect for visible leaks: Check around the door gasket, detergent drawer, and hose connections for signs of water trails or drips.
  • Check base pan: Remove the lower front or rear panel and look into the base pan. If water is present, carefully sponge it out and dry the area.
  • Float switch: Locate the leak detection float switch in the base. Ensure it moves freely and is not stuck in the raised position.
  • Tighten clamps: Inspect all internal hoses (tub-to-pump, pump-to-drain, inlet hoses) and tighten any loose clamps. Replace cracked hoses.
  • Door gasket: Examine the door boot seal for tears, mold, or deformation. Replace if damaged.
  • Test for leaks: Run a short cycle while observing the machine (panels off if safe) to identify the leak source. Repair or replace the leaking component.
