Possible Causes
Split sump hose between tub and pump, Loose hose clamp, Cracked drain pump housing, Leaking inlet hose or connection
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the washer and close water taps. Be prepared for water when opening panels.
- Inspect hoses: Remove the rear or lower front panel and visually inspect the large black sump hose, drain hose connections, and inlet hoses for splits or drips during a test fill (with power off and hoses pressurized only if safe).
- Check pump body: Examine the drain pump for cracks or leaks around the seal and filter area.
- Tighten clamps: Use a screwdriver or pliers to tighten any loose hose clamps.
Replace any hose or pump that shows signs of cracking or persistent leakage. If the leak source is not obvious, a technician may need to perform a pressure test.
