Appliance Leaking Water

Water leaks can come from washers, refrigerators, or dishwashers. The cause depends on where the leak appears.

Washer Leaks

1. Door Boot Seal (front-load) — Torn boot gasket = leak at the front door.
2. Water Inlet Valve — Cracked valve body or loose hose fitting leaks at the back.
3. Tub Seal / Bearing — Leak from under the machine during spin.

Refrigerator Leaks

1. Defrost Drain (clogged) — Ice melts and overflows onto the floor instead of draining to the pan.
2. Water Filter / Supply Line — Loose connections at the filter or ice maker line.
3. Ice Maker Assembly — Cracked fill tube or overfilling ice maker tray.

Dishwasher Leaks

1. Door Gasket — Most common. Worn or out-of-position door seal.
2. Pump Seal — Leak under the unit during wash cycle.
3. Spray Arm Cap — Loose cap sprays water sideways onto the door.
