Possible Causes
Damaged door boot (gasket), loose or cracked tub-to-pump hose, leaking water inlet valve, loose hose clamps
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit and turn off water supply. Mop up any standing water to avoid slipping.
- Inspect door boot: Open the door and examine the rubber door gasket for tears, holes, or mold damage. Replace if damaged.
- Check hose connections: Remove the lower front or rear panel and inspect all hoses (inlet to dispenser, tub-to-pump, pump-to-drain) for drips while running a short fill cycle (keep clear of moving parts).
- Tighten clamps: Use a screwdriver or pliers to tighten any loose hose clamps. Replace cracked hoses.
- Inlet valve leaks: Look at the water inlet valve at the back/top for drips from the body or fittings. Replace the valve if it leaks even when off.
