It is so common that the drain leaks in many ways and is the most problematic fault in a washing machine. In all occasions it is important that your observation is most important and so is vital to the identification /rectification and solution. If you have noticed that water has leaked then as the drain hose pump/valve and fittings are located on the underside of the machine it is important that you look for possible leaks here. In some cases the drain hose would be clogged at the drain end to outlet of the house and so there will be back flushing resulting in overflow to the outside. Also the drain pump/valve can be clogged or the drain hose clamps can be loose on the grip which can all cause the leak to occurs. Removing and Cleaning the drain pump/valve, tightening of the hose is also very important. Also water can leak if there is gaps on the front door gaskets and must be checked but this will happen only during the cycle and not on the drain cycle end.

Washer leaks but onlyu during drying cycle

the main drama i have with these lg washer/dryers is the drying vent blocks up with lint which causes excess heat build up around the heater and it often results in a small hole melting through the front tub under the heater vent where it joins to the plastic tub, it also results in water leaking out the melted hole when it dries but not during the wash as the hole is at the top of the tub, parts are relatively cheap for what they are but its a massive job to replace the front tub.

There is water where you put the fabric softener when the wash cycle is completed.

Please check the following:
1.the soap compartment is totally clean! Please take it out and be sure that the little hole under the softener case is open.
2.the machine is leveled correctly on the ground.
3. the water pressure is not over 4-5 bar.
Hope I helped.

FRIGIDAIRE DISHWASHER LEAKING FROM TOP LEFT CORNER OF DOOR IN THE VENT AREA

Typically in this area of the dishwasher door there should not be any leaking. You might be experiencing severe steam and condensation from a cycle that has been completed. You may also go to open the door after a cycle is completed, and a little residual water will escape out of the vent that is angled downward.

Dryer is emitting dryer dust during dry cycle. Vent is not clogged and vent screen is cleaned after each dry cycle. Lots of dust escaping the system during dry cycle.

You've got a hole in the 4" tubing that connects the dryer to the outside vent. Airflow in the dryer is a closed system and the only way lint can escape is if there's a hole somewhere. The vent hose is by far the most likely source of your lint problem.

My fridge leakes water?

Hello, this sounds like you have a blockage in the drain tube, remove panel back of freezer..you may see ice build up...melt ice with hair dryer/heat gun...you will see a pan below evaporator...melt ice in pan...dry water up in pan with paper towel...now you should see a hole in pan that leads to drain tube...pour some hot water in pan..wait a couple minutes..mop up water and repeat this step 2-3 times....once you have done this find some flexible curatain wire or electrical wire..poke down the hole until you see the water drain..now it is clear..put back panel back and you are good to go. The reason you see water in the Freezer is because the water has been leaking into the freezer instead of running into the drain hole...If you need any further assistance please feel free to comment again. good luck! P.s Please don't forget to rate my solution thanks! Mike.

My ge fridge model TBX18k lg has water building up underneath the drawers in the bottom of fridge. Must be coming from freezer section, but my model has no water dispenser or ice maker. Got any ideas?

Remove the food from the freezer and then remove the rear freezer wall . Should be 2-4 screws and maybe a clip on each side on the top vent . Once the panel is removed , useing a hairdryer , defrost the tray below the coils until you can see the drain hole . Defrost the drain hole until water begins to flow into the hole . Use a small hose inserted into the hole and blow out any debris which has accumulated . You can also use hot water to help defrost the drain hole . Once completed , reinstaal the panel and of course , food .
