Safety first: Unplug the appliance and close the water tap. Risk of flooding and electric shock.

• Inspect base tray: Carefully tilt the machine and look for water in the base. If present, dry thoroughly with towels and allow to air dry.
• Find leak source: Remove side or rear panels and inspect all hoses, the circulation pump, drain pump, and tub for signs of leakage.
• Secure connections: Tighten hose clamps and replace any hoses that show cracks or swelling.
• Check float switch: Ensure the float moves freely and the switch is not stuck in the activated position. Replace the float switch if defective.
• Test operation: After repairs and drying, reconnect power and run a short cycle while monitoring for leaks.
