Possible Causes

Activated float switch in base pan, Leaking inlet hose or connection, Cracked tub or sump, Loose internal hose clamp

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit and shut off water supply. Risk of electrical shock if water reaches live components.

  • 1. Inspect base pan: Remove the lower front or rear panel and check for standing water. Mop up all water and locate the float switch or leak sensor.
  • 2. Identify leak source: Run a short fill cycle while observing the machine. Look for drips from the door boot, inlet valve connections, tub seams, and hoses.
  • 3. Tighten and reseal: Tighten hose clamps, replace any visibly cracked hoses, and ensure inlet hoses are properly seated with new washers if needed.

Persistent E30 after drying the base and correcting visible leaks indicates a possible defective leak sensor or more serious tub damage, requiring professional service.
