Common Causes of a Leaking Washing Machine

March 28, 2018 by

Washing machine malfunctions always seem to happen at the worst times, don’t they? Exhausted, you put a load of towels in the wash before bed, and you wake up the next morning to a puddle of water in your laundry room. This is the last thing you need on a hectic weekday morning! 

Unfortunately, there’s little we can do to completely prevent things like this from happening. However, try not to stress: a leaky washing machine doesn’t necessarily spell disaster. Your unit’s leak could be caused by one of several different issues. Whether it’s a quick DIY fix or a cheap replacement part, the solution may be more manageable than you think. 

Common Causes of Washer Leaks:

Here are some of the most common causes of washing machine leaks:

  • Defective door seal
  • Faulty or loose connections, e.g.:
    • Worn-out fittings
    • Improperly connected hose
    • Loosely fitted water inlet valve
  • Worn-out drain hose
  • Cracked or worn-out valves
  • Too much detergent
  • Blocked soap dispenser

You can take a look at these parts of your washing machine pretty easily on your own. If anything appears loose, cracked, clogged, or worn out, it will need to be fixed. Whether that means simply tightening a hose connection or replacing a broken valve, the repair shouldn’t be too expensive or complicated. 

What If It’s Something Else?

However, if you’ve examined these issues and still can’t find the cause of your leak, you’ll need to contact a professional washer repair technician for help. A professional will thoroughly troubleshoot your machine and find the root of the problem quickly and accurately. Then, they’ll make the necessary repairs.

All in all, it should be a relatively painless experience if you choose the right repairman for the job. For homeowners in the Wilmington area, All Brands Appliance Repair should be your first call!
