Whats it mean when you have water coming underneath your washer?

Before you make any decisions, you need to find out where the water is coming from. Pull your washer back from the wall as far as you can, remove the front, and put a large sheet of paper or cardboard underneath your washer. Then run a load and watch your washer.





The first suspicion would be the hoses (which would be the easiest fix so hope its a hose). Check to see if there's any leaking at attachment points. If your hoses are dry, then watch for where water is dripping (this is where the large sheet of paper comes in handy for isolating exactly where.





Other leaks could be a pump, it could be a tub seal. Based on your mechanical ability, you may just want to call a repairman, but your diagnosis will help them. Repair help and parts are available on the internet.





We have a small tub leak on our second-hand washer. We might fix it someday, but its small enough that we have a bunch of cheap bar towels and just throw one in front of the washer to catch any water. The wet towel gets thrown in with the next wash.
