One of the things that can happen to your washing machine is a leak. When water flows from a washing machine, this is a cause for concern, because even the smallest leak can cause flooding of your apartment and the apartment of your neighbors.

Causes of leakage

First of all, you should make sure that the reason for the appearance of water is precisely in the malfunction of the washing machine. It is possible that it is leaking from a pipe, a riser, or a mixer tube is leaking. If there are no visible leaks in the plumbing and sewer systems, then the reason is in the washing machine.

 

Water leaking from washing machine most often for the following reasons:

• pump leaked;
• the tank is leaking;
• one of the hoses (drain or inlet) is damaged;
• door cuff damaged;
• leaky pipes;
• the tank seal is damaged;
• the dispenser is clogged, etc.

Correcting the situation

Take a close look at the washing machine and determine where the leak is. It is also important to know at what point in the washing process water flows from the washing machine. The final “diagnosis” will depend on the answer to this question, because different systems of washing machines can wear out and be damaged: a drain system, a water intake system, etc. If water slowly drips during the entire washing and rinsing cycle, then it may seep through damaged tank cap seal.

Leaky hoses

Most often, hoses leak at the joints. This trouble is eliminated quite simply - you need to replace the rubber gasket. A damaged hose should be replaced with a new sealed one, because. the use of glue is most often not effective.

• Dispenser defective

The main reason for the leakage of the dispenser is the clogging of the powder hopper, as well as too much water pressure during washing. Sometimes leaks also occur due to problems with the inlet valve.

Remove the dispenser and if a blockage is found, rinse in running water. Inspect the place where the dispenser is inserted for the presence of foreign objects, and if any are found, remove them.

If a leak is found on the intake valve, it will most likely need to be replaced.

Protective cuff damaged

Small damage to the rubber cuff can be repaired with a patch and waterproof adhesive. If the damage is significant, the cuff should be replaced. The cuff, which has dried up and cracked, is also subject to replacement.

The tightness of the pipes is broken

If water flows from the washing machine due to loosening of the connection with the tank, then it is necessary to remove the connection, clean and dry the attachment point, and then attach the part back. In order to prevent the problem from reoccurring, it is important to use high-quality waterproof glue.

Damaged pipes will have to be replaced. A washing machine repairman will help you with this.

There is damage to the tank

In order to detect damage on the tank for front-loading washing machines, we inspect the bottom; for top-loading washing machines, it is necessary to remove the side of the case for inspection. A damaged tank must be replaced. To do this, contact a specialist.

• Bad oil seal

A malfunction of this part is indicated by the fact that water flows from the washing machine during the spin cycle. Diagnose this problem it is possible, when inspecting the tank, noticing water leakage from the bearings. A defective oil seal and bearings should also be replaced.

• The pump is leaking

In the event that water flows from the washing machine due to a malfunction in the drain pump (pump), it should also be replaced.

Problems with leakage in washing equipment are not so rare, it is important to notice the problem in time and make a quality repair.
