13 Reason Water Leakage From Washer | How to Fix?

Water Leakage From Washer. I recently sold my Whirlpool and received a Kenmore front load washer. I just found a puddle of water under my washing machine. I am not sure if anyone spilled water or if the washer was leaking. If it is leaking, I do not know if it is leaking from the drain hose during the filler cycle, during the spin cycle, or when the washer is not in use. I don’t want to call an appliance repair company to fix my washer unless I know. I live in a condo on the second floor so I don’t want to leak water into my neighbor’s condo and I don’t want to use a washer that leaks every time I wash. Is there anything I can easily check that the washing machine is not leaking down?

Make sure you soak up all the water completely, until the area under your washing machine is completely dry. After you soak all the water under the washer, keep reading below…

2 – Run a full wash cycle as you normally do with clothes in it. Once the washer has completed the wash, check the underside of the washer for any water around or near the washer.

3 – Run another full washing cycle to be sure, as the washer can leak water at a slower rate and washing 2 times will help you determine if it is the washer that is leaking. If you don’t see any leaking under the washing machine, you can just assume someone dropped something and found something under the washer. No further action is necessary.

4 – However if you find water under the washing machine after cycling the wash, then there is something leaking under or around the washer.

Replace all 4 and run the test wash again. Note: When water leaks during the fill cycle, it usually means that the water supply hose is loose.

6 – The water supply hose in your washer is usually a mesh screen filter where the water hose connects to the washer. If they are very dirty and blocked, they can also cause water leaks. Check the water hose mesh screen filters to make sure they are not filled and the leakage is caused by water not entering the washer completely.

7 – Make sure your washer is fully adjusted by adjusting the feet of the washer. Use a level and place it on top of your washer to ensure this. If the washer is not level, it can eject water as the washer is designed to be used on a completely flat surface. The washer feet are there. If you don’t have a floor, you can easily level the washer.

Make sure you are using the correct HE washer detergent .. Check your manufacturer’s manual to make sure that you are using the amount he recommends.

10 – Check and make sure the drain hose is 100% safe from standpipe or stand pipe. If it becomes loose, water can leak on the floor or under the washing machine. Also make sure that the water of the washing machine does not get blocked or blocked.

11 – Ensure that the washer drain plug is removed. If your washer is new, it comes with a drain plug that you will need to take out before connecting a drain hose. Note: If you cycle the wash and the plug is not removed, the washing machine will not run correctly and the water on the floor will run out.

12 – If all hoses and hose parts are tight and in good condition, then the next thing to check is … internal hoses for drainage or filling may be loose or defective. To ensure that all are safe and no leaks are present.

13 – If the washer is not in a leak, simply check the water hose behind the washer as they are most loose or brittle and need replacing.
