Possible Causes

Leak from door seal, Leak from tub-to-pump hose or drain pump, Cracked tub or loose hose clamp, Faulty or stuck float switch in base tray

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the appliance and turn off water supply. Be prepared for water spillage when moving the unit.

  • Inspect for visible leaks: Check around the door, front panel, and underneath for water trails or drips.
  • Check base tray: Carefully pull the machine forward and tilt it slightly backward to see if water drains from the base. If water flows out, the anti-flood float has likely been triggered.
  • Dry the base: Remove the rear or bottom panel (if accessible) and sponge out any water from the base tray. Allow to dry completely.
  • Locate the source: Run a short fill cycle while observing hoses: door seal, tub-to-pump hose, inlet hoses, and pump housing. Tighten clamps or replace damaged hoses or seals.

Warning: Do not bypass the anti-flood float switch. If you cannot identify the leak source, contact a professional to prevent water damage.
