Leaks water...check the pump first. The fill valve and hoses may be the next step. See how to take apart info. With the use of plastic drain hoses on many machines today, this has become a common leak trouble maker. The drain hose can rub the wall or a pipe and this will rub a hole in the drain hose.

It is important to describe where it is leaking from....If it is leaking from the inlet ....where your garden hose connects...then you either dont have it connected tight enough, or you are missing the gasket that fits inside the inlet. If it is leaking from the pump between the manifold and the pump housing its probably your packing. I have several questions...first being did it freeze? your manifold could be cracked somewhere. Hope that helps
FH No water detected entering machine or Pressure switch trip not detected. If after 30 seconds the control does not detect water entering machine and then valves will be turned off and the error code will be displayed. Or If the control has turned the water valves on and after 8 minutes the flow meter has detected 10.5 gallons of water passing through it, but has not detected the pressure switch trip, the valves will be turned off and the error code will flash.
Press PAUSE/CANCEL twice to clear the display.
Potential Causes
• If there is no water in the unit: - Make sure that both valves at the water source(s) are turned on all the way. - Check for plugged or kinked inlet hoses or plugged screens in the inlet valves - Verify inlet valve operation • If there is water in the unit: - Verify Drain pump operation - Pressure Switch Hose is in good condition and properly connected to Tub and Pressure switch
• Verify there is not a siphon problem • Verify wire harness connections to; Inlet Valves, Pressure Switch, Drain Pump, Flow Meter, and Central Control Unit (CCU) • Check all hoses for possible leaks • Verify pressure switch operation • Verify flow meter operation • Verify CCU operation

check the drainage pipe, the hose goes into and make sure its not clogged, once you know there are no obstructions reattach the drain hose. be sure it goes a couple of inches into the pipe but has a little space for air flow between hose and pipe. I this doesnt fix the problem the hose made need to be raised, it should enter the pipe several inches higher than the washer. Hope this helps
Your water inlet valve is leaking through. Turn off the water. Remove the hoses from the washer. Clean the sediment screens in the water valve and replace the hose. If that does not solve the leak through problem,the water inlet valve will have to be replaced. Use the attached video to show how to access the inside of the washer in the event the water valve needs replacing.
The F33 error indicates a PUMP DRIVE SYSTEM ERROR and occurs when the connection between pump and the Central Control Unit (CCU) is lost. 1. Unplug washer or disconnect power. 2. Check wire harness connections to the pump and Central Control Unit (CCU). 3. Plug in washer or reconnect power. 4. Verify CCU operation by running a Diagnostic Test or any cycle. System Leak - Select 'cancel' twice to clear error code. Check for any cracks or holes in the washer tub or pressure switch hose. Replace if damaged.
Also
1.Switch off the machine and disconnect the mains power. 2.Remove the filter and make sure that the filter is not blocked and is clean and clear of all debris. Clean as required. Note that depending on the machine type you may get a lot of water coming out of the filter when you remove it if the machine has not drained successfully. Note that if the machine has stopped and not fully drained then you may be able to drain out the excess water by removing or disconnecting the waste hose and laying it on the ground in a tray. 3.Proceed by checking the drain hose for proper connection and kinks and make sure that it is not blocked. 4.Also check that the main waste drain pipe, if you use one, is not blocked and clean if required. 5.Reconnect the power and switch the machine on. If the problem persists then do the following. 6.Switch off the machine and disconnect the mains power. 7.Check the electrical connections at the pump and make sure it is operational. 8.Remove the connecting hoses, and expect water to drain out and make sure the pipes are not blocked with debris or any object blockage. 9.Makes sure the pump appears clear and that the impeller looks in good condition. 10.Reconnect the hoses and then reconnect power and switch the machine on. 11.If problem has not been corrected, then remove the pump and check that the drive coupling to the motor is OK and that the motor turns OK. If all is well then replace the pump.
dont know of any head gasket concerns, usually when the intake manifold leaks it either split and pours out or the heater hose fittings crack and leak. Check the hose connections at the intake and make sure none of the hose clamps have cracked and are leaking
This is commonly caused by a leaking water pump, or the hoses attached to the pump. The following link explains how to access the interior of the washer to inspect for leaks:
This link explains how to replace the water pump if that is the case. Keep in mind, these pumps are sealed units and are not serviceable. If the pump is leaking, or not functioning, it needs to be replaced. in addition, double check all hose connections to the pump (there usually two hoses) and make sure there are no cracks or holes. Make sure the hose clamps are secured properly. I hope this helps you. Let me know if you require additional assistance.
remove the bottom acesss panel and run through drain/spin cycle youll see where the leak is then. perhaps debis has puntured drainline hose or pump housing is leaking
If your washer is still under warranty, I would call the company and have them send someone down. If the leak is from either the drum itself or a seal then I don't think you could handle it yourself. But, first make absolutely sure that it's not from any hose connection. Tighten all the connections, especially those to the drain pump. And check the pump itself for any leaks.
You can only examine the leak by taking off the top panel, to observe by sight only.
