Causes of Washing Machine Leaks

There are a number of main causes for washing machine leaks. Of course, they all have one thing in common; something has gone wrong! Obviously, if the washing machine was working as intended it would not result in water on the floor.

Faulty Drain Pump – the drain pump is what removes the water from the washing machine after use, overtime this can be come worn down and stop functioning which leads to the water leaking from the machine
Clogged Hoses – if your washing machine is older and has not been maintained, it may be possible that a hose is clogged which prevents the water from being properly expelled
Broken Tub – the tub is what holds the water in the washing machine as it runs, if this tub becomes cracked or broken it can result in water leaking from the machine
Door Not Sealing Properly – whether it is the door or tub seal, a break in this seal can result in water escaping and ending up on your floor
