If your washer is leaking you should first check the hoses. There are several types of hoses found on a washing machine and the most common are the drain and fill hoses.
How to inspect the hoses on your washing machine:
- Begin by inspecting the connections at the back of the washer to ensure they are tightly secured, and then verify that the leak is not being caused by a restricted house drain backing up through the standpipe.
- If no signs of leaks are found from inspecting the external hoses, disconnect your washer from the power source and remove the cabinet of your washing machine to inspect the internal hoses.
- There are many internal hoses, most will be found connected to the tub. Inspect the hoses for any signs of cracking, abrasions, or other damage.
- If you find a damaged hose(s), you will need a replacement hose(s).
