Tip & How-To about Washing Machines

The washing machine leaks during filling?

The possibilities are as follows:-- Check the Air gap device and the Tube in the washing machine for leaking problem.
The air gap device is located at the end of the black rubber hose that comes from the water-inlet valve. It’s made of translucent plastic. If the air-gap components worn out or cracks, it has to be replace.
Now if the Air gap device checks out ok. Then the other possible part to be checked is tube.
The tube is connected between the water-inlet valve and the air-gap. If it cracks or breaks, it can cause a leak.
These will help. Thanks.

water leaks under machine when filling

Hello, if your washer leaks only when filling then you have to check these:
Air-gap device- The air gap is a small device found on most washers that prevents the wash water from being siphoned into the household water supply. It's located either mid-way along or at the end of the black rubber hose that comes from the water-inlet valve. Often it's made of translucent plastic. If one of the air-gap components deforms or cracks, you may need to replace it.
THE TUBE - There's a rubber tube that runs between the water-inlet valve and either the air-gap or the inlet spout. If it cracks or breaks, it can cause a leak
inlet spout- Most washers have a plastic spout near the top of the main clothes tub that directs the water into the tube. If the spout cracks or breaks free of it's mounting, it can cause a leak.
Thanks

Hi, I have a Asko W6221 washing machine. It is about 6 years old. Just recently it has started to leak water/washing detergent down the front of the machine, from the gap that is located underneath the detergent draw. It does this at the beginning of a wash cycle. At first I thought I was using too much powder or that it might of been the detergent/ powder that I was using. I have reduced and changed my powders / detergents and the problem still continues. What do you suggest?

Hi,

Your washer can develop several types of leaks. You can track down a leak based on when it occurs:

During fill only If the washer leaks only during the fill cycle, check these:

  • Air-gap device -The air gap is a small device found on most washers that prevents the wash water from being siphoned into the household water supply. It's located either mid-way along or at the end of the black rubber hose that comes from the water-inlet valve. Often it's made of translucent plastic. If one of the air-gap components deforms or cracks, you may need to replace it.


  • The tube -There's a rubber tube that runs between the water-inlet valve and either the air-gap or the inlet spout. If it cracks or breaks, it can cause a leak.


  • Inlet spout -Most washers have a plastic spout near the top of the main clothes tub that directs the water into the tub. If the spout cracks or breaks free of its mounting, it can cause a leak.


During drain and spin only A washer that leaks only during the spin cycle often has a leak in the main drain hose. Inspect the entire hose and correct any problem you find. Alternatively, the steel or plastic outer tubs can rust, split, or be punctured. This may be most visible during large loads and high water levels. If this happens, you may have to replace the entire outer tub--but that may not be an economical repair to make. Consult a qualified appliance repair technician for further details.
