Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit and turn off water supply before inspecting for leaks. Water and electricity are a dangerous combination.
Steps to locate and fix leak:
- Inspect door boot gasket: Open the door and carefully examine the rubber door boot gasket for tears, holes, or areas where it has pulled away from the tub or front panel. Replace the gasket if damaged.
- Check gasket for debris: Remove coins, hairpins, or lint trapped in the folds of the gasket that can cause poor sealing.
- Inspect hoses underneath: Remove the lower front or rear panel and look for water trails around the tub-to-pump hose, drain pump, and inlet hoses. Tighten any loose clamps.
- Run a test with panels off: With power restored and panels temporarily off, run a short fill cycle while observing for drips (keep clear of moving parts and live wiring). Shut off power immediately after identifying the source.
- Replace leaking parts: Install new hoses or clamps where leaks are found. For a damaged door boot, remove the inner and outer retaining clamps, fit the new boot, and reinstall clamps securely.
After repair, run a full cycle and check all around the unit for any signs of continued leakage.
