How can I troubleshoot a water leak from my washing machine?

Answer by  LeheckaG (1826)

Turn your power & water off. Remove the back, front, and/or side-panels from your-washing-machine, so that you can get a better look at the insides. Carefully, Turn your water & power ON; STAYING-CLEAR of MOVING-PARTS & (possibly-electrified)water: Load & start your-washer, and Observe your-washer's insides FROM-BOTTOM-TO-TOP for your water-leak.

The best thing to do is to find out where the water is coming from and go from there. If it is a hose just get a new one.

Well, if there is a leak make sure that all parts are in place. Check to see if the lid is closing correctly. Check to see if all of the outlets are leading to the correct place. If everything is wired correctly, then you know there is a manufacturer's defect.

The first thing I would do would be to check all of the nuts and lugs to make sure that they are secure.

water leaks are caused be cracks or loose connections in the water hoses. simply search for the troubleshooting section in your owners maunal and follow the directions given there. If that doesn't work simply call your local repair service and get an repair estimate, if low cost have them fix it if not find another way.
