Possible Causes

Damaged door boot (front-load), Loose or cracked tub-to-pump hose, Leaking water inlet valve, Worn tub seal or bearing

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Unplug the washer and turn off water supply before inspecting leaks.

  • Identify leak source: Run a short cycle while observing (with panels removed if necessary). Look for drips from the door, hoses, pump, or tub.
  • Door boot: Inspect the rubber door gasket for tears, mold, or foreign objects. Replace the GE door boot if damaged.
  • Hoses and clamps: Tighten or replace any loose or cracked hoses, especially the tub-to-pump and pump-to-drain hoses.
  • Inlet valve: Check for leaks at the valve body or hose connections. Replace the GE water inlet valve if it drips when off.
  • Tub seal: If water appears at the center of the drum or under the tub, the main tub seal may be leaking, often requiring replacement of the rear tub assembly.
