Leaking from Front - Compact Front Load Washer

Are you using Single Dose Laundry Packets?

If using Single Dose Laundry Packets (such as Tide Pods), be sure to follow all manufacturers' instructions. Place the packet inside the basket before adding clothes. Never place the packet in the dispenser drawer.

Is the dispenser drawer completely closed?

The dispenser drawer must be completely closed, as water flushes through it during use. If not, it could easily leak from around the dispenser area onto the floor.

Is the dispenser drawer clogged?

A clogged dispenser can block water flow through the dispenser and cause water to leak. Manually remove the dispenser, and clean any remaining detergent or additives that could clog the water flow through the dispenser.

Is your door glass and/or seal dirty?

A dirty door seal (bellow) can cause water to escape. Remove and/or clean any dirt or deposits around the inner door seal with a damp cloth. The door glass seals against the rubber seal; dirt or deposits can prevent a proper seal.

Are there items stuck in or under the door seal?

Clothing items occasionally get stuck in or under the door seal. Always check the door seal after each use to ensure the drainage holes are not blocked or clogged. Remove any items that may have become lodged within the door seal.

Did you open the door after the cycle had already started?

Opening the door to add an item after the start of the cycle could cause some water to drip off the glass door.
