How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit and turn off water supply. Water on the floor can be slippery; mop up spills promptly.

  • Check hoses: Remove front or rear panel and inspect the tub-to-pump hose, pump-to-drain hose, and inlet hoses for cracks or loose clamps.
  • Dispenser and inlet: Look for leaks around the dispenser drawer and inlet valve connections during a fill cycle.

When to replace: Replace any leaking hose, door boot, or inlet valve. Ensure all clamps are tightened securely.
