Possible Causes

Loose or split drain hose, Cracked tub-to-pump hose, Leaking water inlet hose, Faulty tub seal or bearing housing

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug and turn off water supply. Be prepared for water on the floor.

  • Identify leak source: Remove the rear and lower front panels. Run a short fill cycle while observing with a torch to see where water emerges.
  • Check hoses: Tighten hose clamps on the tub-to-pump hose and external drain hose. Replace any hoses that are cracked or swollen.
  • Inlet connections: Inspect the inlet valve and hoses for drips under pressure. Replace washers or hoses as needed.
  • Tub or seal leaks: If water appears from the center rear of the tub or bearing area, the main tub seal may be failing. This is a complex repair usually requiring tub strip-down; consider professional service.
