GE Washer is Leaking and Not draining

Among all the issues your washer may deal with a leakage isn’t the worst. Fixing a leaky washer can often be done relatively easily without having to get expensive help. If you are interested in the origins of the puddles under the washer, they might simply be related to old hoses, a leaky pump, or overusing. While these are all problems you'll need to get fixed quickly, none of them will break the bank. Doing these repairs yourself will save you time and money and will provide you with peace of mind. The first step to solving this issue is diagnosis, and once you've done that you can begin working to get your laundry machine back to working normally! A clogged drain hose prevents water from properly flowing down the drain pipe resulting in a backup of H2O, which has nowhere to go but onto your laundry room floor. This common problem often looks like a leak, but it’s actually a blockage. Tackle this easily by softening the clog with hot water and fishing it out with a straightened wire hanger, much like you might a clogged shower drain. Then rinse simply by turning the water back on. Loose connections between the hoses and the valves could also cause water leak back there. First, turn off the water supply. Then pull the appliance away from the wall to check and tighten the connection of the drain hose, the water hose to the washer valves, and the connections of the water hoses to the inlets. If not clogged or loose, it might be a damaged drain hose leaking from the connection between the pump and the back of the washer. It’s important to replace a defective part with a new one. When meeting a dead end, call a professional helper to eliminate the issue fast and efficiently.
