Washing machine is leaking


Popular question

If the washing machine is leaking, you can do the following:

Step 1:

The error may be due to the string not being tightened properly or because it is blocked. Clean the string and tighten it properly, but at the same time be careful not to overtighten it. Sometimes you can find that the string is almost "grown in" and it can seem impossible to get out. In this case, the only solution may be to use tools - you should be careful, however, as the fiber mesh breaks more easily when removed with tools than by hand.

Step 2:

The error may be due to the supply hose not being properly clamped to the tap and the washing machine - check if this is the case.

Step 3:

The error may be due to the drain or the drain hose being blocked - check if this is the case. You can check if the hose is clogged by blowing through it. If it is clogged, you can try to clean it using a curtain spiral or similar.

Step 4:

The error may be due to the door bellows being cracked or holed. In this case, it will be necessary to replace the door bellows.

Step 5:

The fault may be caused by water coming out of the soap drawer, which runs down the front and outside of the washing machine and onto the floor. If only a little water comes out of the soap drawer, it is most likely due to the small holes in the shower plate - the plate above the soap drawer - being calcified. Just like with a hand shower, scaling can cause the jets to stand in wrong directions. Disassemble and descale the shower tray to remedy the problem. You can also buy a new shower tray if it cannot be cleaned.

Step 6:

It can also be due to a soap plug, which occurs from prolonged overdose of soap or fabric softener. You can try to remedy the problem by pouring warm water into the soap drawer, after it has stood for a while, you may be lucky that the soap plug dissolves. If this does not solve the problem, it will be necessary to detach the soap hose and soak it in lukewarm water.

Step 7:

If all the above points are in order, the fault may be due to a leaking pump, hose or faulty connections inside the washing machine - therefore check these. You will typically be able to check for leaks by tipping the washing machine - check if there are traces of water and follow the traces to find the leaks.

If the problem has been going on for a long time, lime deposits or rust will often be able to reveal where the water is coming from.
