Possible Causes

Cracked tub-to-pump hose, Leaking drain pump seal, Loose hose clamps, Split recirculation or dispenser hose

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the washer and close water valves. Expect water in the base; use towels and a pan.

Steps to check and correct:

  • Remove panels: Take off the rear or lower front panel to access the pump and hoses.
  • Run a visual leak test: With panels removed, briefly plug in and run a fill and wash cycle while observing all hoses, the pump body, and the tub connections. Unplug again before touching anything wet.
  • Tighten or replace hoses: Tighten any loose clamps. Replace hoses that show cracks, bulges, or soft spots with IPSO-approved parts.
  • Inspect pump: Check for water seeping from the pump shaft or housing seams. A leaking pump must be replaced.
  • Final test: Reassemble panels and run a full cycle while monitoring for leaks.
