Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the appliance and turn off the water supply. Be prepared for water spillage when opening panels.
Step-by-step checks:
- Inspect rear hoses: Check the external drain hose and inlet hose connections for leaks. Tighten or replace as needed.
- Remove rear/bottom panel: Look for water trails or dried residue around the pump, hoses, and heater area.
- Check tub-to-pump hose: Squeeze the hose to feel for splits or pinholes. Replace if damaged and secure with new clamps.
- Inspect pump: Examine the pump body for cracks or leaks at the seal. Replace the pump if leaking.
- Heater seal: If water appears around the heater entry point in the tub, the heater gasket may be leaking and should be reseated or replaced.
When to call a technician: If the leak source is not obvious or involves the main tub, professional service is recommended.
