Leaking from back - Error Code - Compact Front Load Washer

Possible Solutions

Is the Inlet Hose Secure?

Check to see if the water is coming from where the inlet hose is connected to the washer and the faucet. Make sure that both ends of the inlet hose contain the hose washers. Make sure that all of the connections are tight. If necessary, tighten the connections to avoid leaks. Do not over-tighten. 

Is the drain hose loose? Are there signs of the household drain backing up?

Make sure that the household drain is not backing up. Check for blocked drains. The sink and drainpipe must be able to carry away no less than 17 gallons (64 L) of water per minute. The water can back up from the drainpipe or sink if clogged or slow.

Check the household plumbing (laundry tub, faucets, drainpipe, and water pipes) for leaks.

The drain hose should be secure, but not sealed, in the drainpipe. Securing the drain hose will keep it from coming loose from the drain. See the Installation Instructions for details.

Are you using HE High-Efficiency detergent? 

Always use only HE detergent. Using non-HE detergent or more than the manufacturer's recommended amount of detergent can cause excessive suds.
