How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the appliance, turn off water, and tilt the machine only if you can do so safely with assistance.

  • Remove rear panel: Observe for water trails or mineral deposits indicating leak paths.
  • Inspect sump hose:
    • Check the large black hose from the tub to the pump for splits or loose clamps.
    • Tighten clamps or replace the hose if perished.
  • Check heater seal:
    • Inspect around the wash heater where it enters the tub.
    • If water tracks from this area, the heater gasket may be leaking; remove the heater and replace the seal or heater assembly.
