steps
- stop the washer
stop using it and close the tap. unplug only if the plug and surrounding area are dry and safely accessible. do not run another cycle to find an active leak.
- note where water appeared
from outside only, note whether water first appeared at the drawer, door or underneath. when the washer is off and safely accessible, look for drawer residue or a spill.
- tell the technician
give them the cycle stage, leak location and full model/product code. on a stacked appliance, identify the washer section.
- have the hose checked
ask the technician to find the leak and check the product page, both hose connections and clamps. they should replace the hose only if it is split or leaking, then check the hose and both connections for leaks before normal use.
