How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the washer and turn off water. Tip the washer only if you can do so safely.

  • Identify leak source: Remove front or rear panel and run a short fill/agitate cycle while observing with a flashlight (keep clear of moving parts).
  • Check hoses: Tighten clamps and replace any hoses that are cracked or bulging.
  • Inspect pump: Look for water dripping from the pump body; replace if leaking.
  • Seal/tub issues: If water appears at the center of the tub shaft or from a crack in the outer tub, professional repair or tub replacement is usually required.
