Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the appliance and shut off water supply. Tilt the unit only with assistance to avoid injury.
Steps to locate and fix:
- Visual inspection: Remove the rear panel and, if possible, the lower front panel. Look for water trails, mineral deposits, or damp areas on hoses and around the pump.
- Check hose clamps: Tighten any loose spring or screw clamps on the tub-to-pump and pump-to-drain hoses.
- Inspect hoses: Flex hoses gently to reveal cracks or splits. Replace any hose that shows damage.
- Examine pump: Check the drain pump body for hairline cracks or leaks at the seam. Replace the pump assembly if leaking.
When to stop: If you cannot safely access the underside or identify the leak, schedule professional service to prevent further water damage.
