How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the appliance and turn off the water supply. Be prepared for water spillage when opening panels.
- Visual inspection: Pull the machine forward and check underneath and behind for dripping water while a cycle runs (use caution around live parts; ideally observe after unplugging and immediately after a leak).
- Check hoses: Remove the rear or lower front panel and inspect the tub-to-pump hose, drain hose, and inlet hoses for cracks or loose clamps. Tighten clamps and replace damaged hoses.
- Inspect pump: Look for water around the drain pump body and seals. Replace the pump if it is leaking from the housing.
- Test after repair: Run a short cycle and monitor for leaks before pushing the machine back into place.
