Washing Machine Leak & Repair

For leaks, drain issues, or hose problems, call a licensed plumber. For mechanical or electrical failures, contact a certified appliance repair technician. If you're unsure, a plumber can help diagnose the issue and refer you if needed.

Turn off the machine and water supply immediately. Overflows are often caused by using too much detergent, a clogged drain, or a faulty inlet valve. Call a licensed plumber to diagnose and fix your laundry drainage issues before water damage occurs.

Signs of a broken hose include visible cracks, bulging, leaking around the connection, or water pooling behind the machine. If you notice any of these, replace the hose immediately or call a plumber to prevent flooding.

One of the most common failures is a broken drain pump or clogged drain line, which can cause water to back up. Other frequent issues include worn hoses, faulty door seals, and motor problems.

If you've noticed water around or beneath your washing machine, you may have a leaking hose or a loose hose connection. Rubber washing machine hoses should be replaced every five years. Steel braided washing machine hoses will last upwards of seven to ten years. However, you should inspect your washing machine hoses often. Examine them for bulges and cracks.
