Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the appliance and turn off water supply. Be prepared for water spillage when moving the machine.
Step-by-step checks:
- Inspect for visible leaks: Check around the door seal, detergent drawer, and rear hoses for signs of water.
- Check base tray: Carefully pull the machine forward and tilt it slightly backward to see if water drains from the base. If water is present, the float switch may have activated.
- Dry the base: If safe to do so, remove the lower rear or front panel to access the base tray. Mop up all water and ensure the float switch moves freely.
- Identify leak source: Run a short fill cycle while observing the internal hoses, pump, and tub connections. Look for drips or sprays and tighten clamps or replace hoses as needed.
Do not use the appliance until the leak source is fully repaired. If the tub or main seals are cracked, professional repair is recommended.
