Possible Solution

Are inlet hoses secured and washers in place?

Check to see if the washer is leaking where the inlet hoses are connected to the washer and the house water supply. Ensure that both ends of the inlet hoses have hose washers. Ensure that all connections are secure and tight.

Review Checking the Fill Hoses for more information.

Are the inlet hoses connected to the correct port?

Verify that the hot and cold water inlet hoses are correctly connected to the correct hot and cold water ports. If the hoses are reversed, possible leaking or condensation could occur.

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

Ensure that the household drain is not clogged or 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 it is clogged or slow.

Check the household plumbing (including laundry tubs, faucets, drain pipes, hot water heaters, and water pipes) for leaks.
