Possible Causes
Damaged or torn door gasket, foreign object trapped in seal, loose retaining band, excessive suds causing overflow
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the washer and turn off water supply.
- Inspect door gasket: Open the door and carefully examine the rubber seal all around for tears, holes, or deformation. Remove coins, bra wires, or debris.
- Check retaining bands: Ensure the metal or wire clamps holding the gasket to the front panel and tub are tight and properly seated.
- Reduce detergent: Over-sudsing can cause leaks. Use the recommended amount of HE detergent.
If the gasket is damaged: Replace the door seal with a compatible Bauknecht part.
