Possible Causes
Loose or cracked sump hose, Leaking drain pump housing, Loose hose clamps, Cracked tub or tub-to-pump connector
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the appliance and close the water tap. Be prepared for water spillage when opening panels.
Step-by-step checks:
- 1. Remove rear/lower panel: Access the underside of the tub and pump area.
- 2. Inspect sump hose: Check the large sump hose from the tub to the pump for cracks, splits, or loose clamps. Tighten clamps or replace the hose if damaged.
- 3. Check drain pump: Examine the drain pump body for cracks or leaks around the seal. Replace the pump if leaking.
- 4. Inspect other hoses: Check recirculation hoses, inlet hoses inside the cabinet, and dryer-related hoses for drips during a test fill.
- 5. Tub inspection: Look for visible cracks in the plastic outer tub. A cracked tub usually requires tub replacement, which is a technician-level repair.
