Re: its leaking water while the washer is washing
Hi
If your washer leaks every time you run it, then check these:
- Hot and cold water fill hoses - Check the hot
and cold water hoses from the household plumbing. If either hose is
leaking, tighten it or replace it, as appropriate.
- Main tub seal - The main tub seal is located
between the transmission and the outer tub. It's the primary water seal in
the outer tub for the transmission-shaft entry point. If this seal leaks,
you can see the leak by opening up the machine's main access panel while
the machine is full of water with a small amount of detergent in it. The
leak appears at the underside of the outer tub, at or near the center.
This seal is difficult to replace.
- Pump - If the pump leaks, you can probably
spot the leak when the tub is full of water. The pump has two or more
black rubber or plastic hoses attached to it and usually has a drive belt
that spins the pump. If the pump is leaking, you need to replace it.
- Outer tub - Over time, the steel or plastic
outer tubs can rust, split, or be punctured. If this happens, you may have
to replace the entire outer tub--but that may not be an economical repair
to make.
Please rate the solution if you find it useful and helpful.
Thanks
