Water leakage from your washing machine may be due to a variety of factors. Where the water is pooling is usually a good indication of what may be causing the leak. Let us help you troubleshoot to determine your next steps.
Front Door Seal Leaking
Front-load washing machines are lined with a rubber gasket that is meant to create a tight seal when the washing machine’s door is closed.
• Clean the seal and the door. The contact area between both parts should be free of anything that can compromise the door seal, such as fluff and detergent residue.
Detergent Drawer is Leaking
Using too much laundry detergent or using old detergent can also result in your washing machine leaking from the detergent drawer. This may cause excessive foaming in the detergent compartment. This may happen when washing lightly soiled items. The solution is to reduce the amount of detergent. In particular, when washing slightly soiled laundry, the amount of detergent should be reduced. Choosing the best detergent for your washer is crucial for your washer’s performance. Information on the amount of detergent to use can be found on the detergent packaging.
