Possible Causes
Leak from door gasket, Loose hose clamp on tub or pump, Cracked tub or sump hose, Water in base tray activating float switch
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the washer and turn off water supply. Water in the base can contact live parts.
- Inspect for visible leaks: Check around the door gasket, detergent drawer, and rear hose connections for dripping or water trails.
- Check base tray: Tilt the washer slightly backward and look underneath for water in the base. If present, carefully drain or absorb the water with towels.
- Examine internal hoses: Remove the rear or front panel to inspect the tub-to-pump hose, pump-to-drain hose, and vent hoses. Tighten clamps and replace any cracked or perforated hoses.
- Inspect door gasket: Look for tears, holes, or mold damage on the rubber bellows. Replace the gasket if compromised.
- Reset float switch: Once the leak source is repaired and the base is dry, the float switch will reset and E13 should clear.
