Possible Causes

Loose or cracked inlet hoses, Leaking drain pump, Damaged tub-to-pump hose, Cracked outer tub or tub seal

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the washer and turn off water supply before inspecting leaks. Water on the floor can be a slip hazard.

  • 1. Inspect hoses: Check inlet hoses at both ends for drips while filling. Tighten or replace if leaking.
  • 2. Check pump area: Remove lower front or rear panel and run a short fill/wash while observing. Look for leaks at the pump body or hose connections.
  • 3. Examine tub-to-pump hose: Squeeze the hose to feel for cracks or pinholes. Replace if deteriorated.
  • 4. Outer tub and seal: If water appears from the center under the tub, the main tub seal or outer tub may be leaking. This is a major repair often requiring professional service.
