My washer is leaking from underneath the machine. What is the cause?

Slide a couple of sheet of newspaper under the machine and leave it a while and pull it out. The drips will show the approximate location. Then you can pull the machine out and lean it against the wall to check underneath. Make sure someone is steadying it.

The most likely is a faulty water inlet solenoid valve.

You bet there is. But first let's double check some common causes of leaks that may not be located under the machine. Step one is to check the drain hose behind the machine. If a machine gets pushed back too far it can kink or bind that hose and that can cause water to leak from underneath. If that looks okay check that the end of that hose is not inserted into the drain more than about 4 - 5." If it is poked down into the standpipe more than that it can cause a syphoning situation that can also cause leaking underneath. While you are back there check the hoses that lead up to the machine. Make sure the connections are dry. I can't tell you how many under machine leaks i have fixed that originated right there. Just run a finger under each hose connection. If finger gets wet the connection may need tightened ever so slightly with pliers. If all those check out fine let me know. We'll go deeper.

you will need to narrow down where the water is leaking from. under the door...? behind the bottom drain door..? underneath machine..? behind machine..? leaks can be found in many areas.

hello there may be holes in the door seal or seal around the front. also check the pump underneath hope it helps

probably there's some hole underneath the cause by rats bite or some broken or lose parts not tighten

A small amout of water leaks underneath on the left side of the washer-they think the tub ring is causing the problem. Whirlpool Cabrio

hi there,

the leak underneath could be from the pump or the drain hose. some washers have a tub to pump boot that sometimes springs a leak.

for a 4-month-old washer, i would certainly hope you pay nothing. F&P appliances come with at least a 2 year warranty. check your user & care guide for warranty information.

Seems like a leaky hose or pump.
Other than ruin your floor, you should to take caution that if the water sprays onto electrical connections or the motor etc, I may cause a fire or electrocution so it would be wise to have it inspected as soon as possible.

Hiya........... have a good look at the door seal for any visible tears... do it with wet hands... and the electric off!! If you cant see anything... Have a look at the pump couplings.. for any visible signs if leaking!

Get back with the results

Your leak could be coming from the rubber door seal. Inspect all the way around the rubber seal paying particular attention to the areas behind the rubber seal where it meets the wash tub. They wear with age and can develop small holes. When they start leaking it appears like water coming from under the machine. I hopes this helps.
