when to get help
- stop for water outside the machine, sustained violent movement or failure to drain. keep the door closed during operation and never bypass its lock.
steps
- check the feature fitted to your washer
look for TurboWash or TurboShot in the model guide. water spraying during spin can be part of rinsing; switching TurboShot off does not necessarily stop the top spray.
- check the outcome, not spray alone
if water stays inside, drains away and the cycle finishes, spray alone is not a reason to replace a pump. if the washer repeatedly fails to spin or leaks, record the programme and model and arrange further checking.
