[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Top-Load Washer Leaks[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Leak at the Front of Washer[/FONT]
- [FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Leaks at the front of a top-load washer are usually caused by a clogged or tilted overflow tube. Clogs can happen from excess suds caused by using too much detergent or combining laundry products inappropriately. Oversudsing can easily happen in homes that have a water softening system. With softer water, less detergent is needed for effective cleaning. To test if you are using too much detergent, take a freshly washed item, like a small hand towel, and place it in a bowl of hot water before drying. If the water becomes sudsy, you are using too much detergent.[/FONT]
- [FONT=Times New Roman, serif]The washer can leak if it is overloaded or out of balance. Check to be sure the washer is level, reduce load sizes, and keep an eye out for the leak. You may have solved the problem.[/FONT]
- [FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Jebel Ali Palm Dubai Washing Machine Repair[/FONT]
- [FONT=Times New Roman, serif]If you have a washer that features a spray rinse function, interfering with the cycle by manually advancing the timer can cause the washer to leak. The manual advance can often cause the spray rinse cycle to go on too long and overflow.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Leak at the Back of Washer[/FONT]
- [FONT=Times New Roman, serif]If your top-load washer is new, you may have forgotten to remove the manufacturer's drain plug before installing the drain hose. Remove the hose and you'll find a plastic plug that must be removed and discarded. Have a bucket and towels ready to catch the excess water.[/FONT]
- [FONT=Times New Roman, serif]A leak at the back of the washer can also be caused by a drain hose not properly secured in the drainpipe. Be sure that the hose is fully inserted into the standpipe (drainpipe). If there is still a leak around the drain hose, especially during the washer spin cycle, the drainpipe is probably clogged. The clog is not allowing the water to continue down the pipe and causing it to back up and overflow onto the floor.[/FONT]
- [FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Another possible cause for a leak at the back of the washer is a loose connection at the fill hoses. Turn off the water supply and remove the hoses and check that the rubber washers are in good shape or if they are even there. Skipping the use of rubber washers is common and can cause leaks. If after replacing and hand-tightening the connections there is still a leak; replace the fill hoses. There could be a pinhole leak that will soon erupt into a flooding of your floor.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Leak Under Washer[/FONT]
- [FONT=Times New Roman, serif]A leak under the washer indicates a hole in the water pump. It should be replaced immediately to prevent water from falling directly on the motor. Water + Motor = Failure. If you are handy, you can find a repair manual for your washer model and replacement parts.

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Front-Load Washer Leaks[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Leak at Front of Washer[/FONT]
- [FONT=Times New Roman, serif]If the door seal on a front-load washer is not kept free of soil and soap, the seal will leak. It is important to clean the gasket weekly and pay close attention to the edges. Inspect the seal and look for punctures or trapped items.​[/FONT]
- [FONT=Times New Roman, serif]A leak can also occur if the door is not closing properly. The hinges can be loosened and readjusted to be sure that alignment is correct.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Leak at Back of Washer:[/FONT]
- [FONT=Times New Roman, serif]The same problems that occur on a top-load washer with the drain hoses and inlet water hoses can happen with a front load washer. Follow the tips listed above to identify and repair the leaks.[/FONT]
- [FONT=Times New Roman, serif]A front-load washer can also leak in the back overflow area due to too many suds. You must always use HE detergent in a front loader and only use a small amount.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Leak Under Washer:[/FONT]
- [FONT=Times New Roman, serif]A front-load washer has an inner and outer drum. In many washers, the outer drum is manufactured in two halves and then bolted together. These seams can begin to leak and will need to be replaced or repaired. [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Al Guoz Fourth Dubai Washing Machine Repair[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Overflowing Washer[/FONT]
- [FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Overflowing is hardly a leak but it is a problem usually caused by a water valve or pressure switch problem. Time for a repair![/FONT]
