My washer is constantly leaking water. Do you know why this is?

check/tighten inlet hot and cold water lines, both ends of each hose

The relay that shuts off the water, or the mechanism that senses the level of the water, and then shuts off the flow of the water needs to be checked, fixed or replaced. If you're competent to do all that, and have the necessary tools, all the better. If not, them a repairman must be called in....should be fairly cheap to fix.

If you are on city water and your inlet to your house has a back flow preventer this could be you problem.if so theres an expansion tank that can be installed on the cold water line,after you water warms up theres no room for expansion and the relief valve goes off at 150 psi

a broken water line inside the machine, or water control valve is bad

If the leak is more like a constant drip, a common source of leaks with Whirlpool manufactured top loaders is a leaking drain pump. These pumps are not serviceable and if damaged, must be replaced. The following link explains how:

Don't forget to check all drain hose connections under the washer and the center tub seal.

This problem is commonly caused by a water inlet valve leaking by. If you live in an area that has hard water, or if you use well water, sediment, rust or calcified deposits can accumulate in the inlet valve and cause it not to close properly. Usually when they start leaking, you need to replace them.


If the model number is correct, the part number for a replacement valve is WH13X10025.

Check the suction line for leaks. It needs constant water
supply to build a constant water pressure. You may also
check the pressure regulator for leaks. You may also
check the carbide or ceramic pistons for breaks. Send you e-mail for further assistance.

There is an internal leakage or breakage. This will cause a leak and also cause it to keep running.

My LG WM2277HB also leaks after 4yrs of use. I found a hole in the front door gasket at the 3 o'clock position. I also have LE errors constantly.
