Possible Causes

Cracked drain pump housing, Loose tub-to-pump hose clamp, Split internal hose, Leaking tub seal

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the washer and turn off water supply. Tilt the machine only with assistance to avoid injury.

  • 1. Remove panels: Take off rear or bottom panel to locate the source of the leak while running a short fill/drain test (use caution around live parts if testing powered).
  • 2. Inspect hoses and clamps: Tighten any loose clamps and replace hoses that show cracks or bulges.
  • 3. Check pump body: Look for hairline cracks or leaks around the pump. Replace the pump if leaking.
  • 4. Evaluate tub seal: If water drips from the center of the drum shaft, the tub seal is failing and requires major disassembly to replace.
