How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit and shut off water supply. Be prepared for water spillage when removing hoses.
- Visual inspection: Pull the unit away from the wall and inspect the rear and underside for water trails or drips.
- Check hoses: Examine the main drain hose, tub-to-pump hose, and inlet hoses for cracks, bulges, or loose clamps.
- Inspect pump: Remove the lower front or rear panel to view the drain pump. Look for leaks at the pump body or seals.
- Tighten and replace: Tighten any loose clamps. Replace any hose that shows signs of cracking or leaking. Replace the pump if water is seeping from the housing.
- Test for leaks: After reassembly, run a short fill and drain cycle while observing for leaks.
