The washing machine flows from below: the reasons for what to do with leaks during spinning

nozzles are damaged The washing machine is designed to make our life easier and more convenient, allowing us to spend less time and energy on housekeeping. However, sometimes, as a result of negligent treatment or factory marriage, she is transformed from a true helper into a real source of problems. One of the most common problems is the appearance of a leak in the bottom of the case. If the washing machine flows from below when water is being collected, when washing or when squeezing, you should immediately find the cause.

In this article, we will tell you how to identify the source of leaks, and how to fix it. Our tips apply to washing machines from the most popular manufacturers, such as LG, Samsung, Bosch, Electrolux and Ardo.

The first thing you need to pay attention to - at what stage of the washing cycle does the puddle begin to form under the washing machine? This will help you identify the cause of the leak. After the unit has been shut off, disconnect it from the mains and carefully examine the main components of the structure. Pay attention to the integrity of the parts and the presence of moisture in them.

If the machine starts leaking when recruiting or draining the water, the problem is most likely in one of the hoses - draining or filling. In the event of a breakdown of the first, a leak occurs during the spinning, and if the second is defective, during the filling of the tank.

Detecting leakage in the hose is quite easy - you just need to conduct a thorough inspection of these elements and check the attachment points to the sewer pipe and the body of the washing machine. If the integrity of the hose is broken, you need to purchase a new one.

Drain pump failure is a serious enough trouble. Cope with it yourself, not having any knowledge of repairing household appliances, it will not be easy. Therefore, the most correct solution is to call a professional master to repair the pump. Also you can buy a new part and try to install it yourself.

If a leak occurs directly during the washing process, the problem is likely to be in the tank. Often we forget to remove different trifles from the pockets before washing. Forgotten keys, barrettes and coins can damage the tank of the washing machine, especially if it is made of plastic. The gap is easy to detect: you just need to remove the front and back panels of the washing machine, and tilting it in different directions, inspect the tank. At the same time, illuminate yourself with a flashlight, so that even the smallest crack can not escape you.

The cause of leakage of the machine during washing can be a violation of the integrity of the cuff - rubber lining on the hatch. The cuff may break due to foreign objects entering it or simply wear out as a result of prolonged use. Damaged cuff should be repaired or replaced. Both can be done by one's own hands.

The gap can be sealed with a special tool such as "liquid rubber", or glued on it with a rubber patch. On how to dismantle the old cuff and install a new one, see "Unpleasant smell from a washing machine".

If the washing process is accompanied not only by the formation of puddles of water under the washing machine, but also by extraneous noise, the faulty bearing may be the cause of the problem. In the course of operation, the bearing is covered with rust and plaque, which causes not only it to suffer, but also the oil seal located next to it. That's why both these parts are replaced at the same time. To get to them, the unit will have to be almost completely disassembled.

The process of bearing replacement is presented by Vladimir Khatuntsev in the next video.

detergent feeder clogged The leakage at the very beginning of the wash can signal that the container that supplies the powder and the air conditioner is not all right. Sometimes it is clogged with surpluses of detergents or objects that accidentally get inside. The problem can be solved by thoroughly cleaning the feeder and washing it in warm water. If there are cracks, it should be replaced.

nozzles damaged If the washing machine is leaking when water is being recycled, a possible cause is broken pipes. This is a nozzle connecting the filler valve and the detergent feeder and the nozzle that connects the tank and the drain pump. Another branch pipe that can be guilty of a leak is one that pumps water into the tank. If the problem is not very serious, all can be corrected using sealing means, otherwise the damaged connection will have to be replaced.
