Leaky Washing Machine

Do you have a leaky washing machine but can't seem to figure out where the water is coming from? Here are a few tips to point you in the right direct. If you're still unsure then head over to our repair forum at http://forum.appliancezone.com .

Here are some of the common areas that your washer may leak:

Inlet Hose Connections - Check for drips around the supply hose connection on the back of the washer as it fills with water. If the hoses are old, corroded or rusted replace them. But if they're in good shape you can replace just the hose's internal washers.

 

Hose Connectors - Open the cabinet and start the fill cycle. These hoses tend to leak around a worn out clamp, but the hoses themselves can also crack and break. Identify what is causing the leak and replace it.

 

Pump - Open the cabinet and check around the pump. The pump will typically leak around the pulley. If you notice this, the pump will need to be replaced.
