Washer Leaks: What They Mean and What to Do

Not all leaks are created equal. Whether it’s a steady drip or a full puddle, identifying the source saves time—and water.

Hose Leaks = Loose Connections

Tighten clamps and check for splits in the hose. Rubber lines should be replaced every five years.

Front Seal Leaks = Torn Gasket

If your front-loader leaks from the door, check for small tears or mildew buildup.

Drawer or Detergent Leaks

Too much soap or high pressure can overflow the dispenser—use only high-efficiency detergent.
