Serving Charleston, SC & the Lowcountry
Leaks can come from several different points on a washer — where the water appears is the first clue.
Call (854) 291-4043 Book OnlineLikely Causes
Worn door boot seal
The most common cause on front-load machines.
Loose or cracked hose connection
Check both the supply and drain hose fittings.
Oversudsing from too much detergent
Regular detergent in a high-efficiency machine creates excess suds that leak out.
Cracked tub
Less common, but possible on older machines.
What You Can Safely Check Yourself
Check that supply and drain hose connections are snug, and confirm you're using HE detergent in the right amount.
When to Call a Professional
A leak from the door itself during the wash cycle usually means the door seal needs replacement. Daniel Appliance Repair offers same-day and next-day appointments across Charleston, SC and the surrounding Lowcountry.
