FAQ
What is the first place to inspect?
Check visible hoses and the door seal, then inspect the pump area if the leak appears during drain.
Can a small hose crack cause a large puddle?
Yes. A small crack can open more under pressure and leak significantly.
Why does it leak only during spin?
That often suggests a drain or tub-movement related issue.
Should I stop running the washer?
Yes. Continued use can cause flooring damage and larger repair problems.
