Possible Causes

Loose or cracked tub-to-pump hose, Leaking drain pump seal, Split inlet hose inside cabinet, Worn tub bearing seal causing water at rear center

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the washer, turn off water, and tilt the machine only with assistance to avoid injury.

Locate the leak:

  • Remove the rear and/or bottom panel.
  • Run a short fill cycle while observing with a flashlight (keep clear of moving parts).

Common fixes:

  • Tub-to-pump hose: Tighten or replace the hose and clamps if water drips from the large black hose between tub and pump.
  • Drain pump: If water leaks from the pump body or shaft, replace the pump.
  • Inlet hoses: Tighten or replace any internal hoses showing cracks or drips.
  • Rear center leak: Water emerging from the rear center of the tub often indicates a failed tub bearing seal; this requires bearing and seal replacement or complete tub assembly replacement.
