A leak coming from the front of a front-load washer is often caused by a damaged or dirty door seal. If the door seal is cracked or loose, it will need to be replaced in order to restore a watertight seal. Always ensure all clothes pockets are empty prior to washing, as objects left in pockets can damage the door seal.
Front leaks can also be caused by soil and soap residue that builds up on the door after a cycle. Regularly clean and wipe down the door seal to prevent small leaks.
To help protect your floor from scuffs, spills, leaks, and overflows, consider installing a washer tray. Learn more about the benefits of washer trays or order one online now through our parts and accessories store.
