There might be two possible reason for that.

it might be coming form the tub itself passing through the rubber seal of your plastic rotator(the big wheel inside the tub)

the other thing is in the junction of the hose the tub.

try to open the back of your washing macjine where you can get an access inside the wheel and the junction connector, from there you will the cause of the leackage. try to put some water while looking at so you can see where the water is coming out

Take the back off, check the hoses up top coming from the little dispensers. if one of the hoses is broken, that will be where the water is leaking from.

If the washer leaks all the time, check these:

  • Water inlet valve If water drips even when the washer is off,check the water inlet valve. It is located inside the washer at the back of the unit. The fill hoses are attached to it. Replace if deemed necessary.
  • Water fill hoses Check the water hoses from the household plumbing. Tighten it or replace it as necessary..
  • Main tub seal It is located between the transmission and the outer tub. To see the leak, fill the machine with water with small amount of detergent then open up the machine's main access panel.. The leak appears at the underside of the outer tub, at or near the center. The seal is difficult to replace and you probably should call a qualified appliance repair technician.
  • Pump You can spot the leak when the tub is full of water if the pump leaks. The pump has two or more black rubber or plastic hoses attached to it and usually has a drive belt that spins the pump. Replace it as necessary if it leaks.
  • Outer tub The outer tub can rust, split, or be punctured.You may have to replace the entire tub but its not economical repair to do. Consult a qualified technician for details.
If the washer leaks only during the fill cycle, check these:
  1. Air-gap device It is a small device found on most washers that prevents the wash water from being siphoned into the household water supply. It is located either mid-way along or at the end of the black rubber hose that comes from the water-inlet valve. It is usually made of translucent plastic. If one of the air-gap components deforms or cracks, you have to replace it.
  2. The tube It is 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.
  3. Inlet spout It is a plastic spout found on most washers 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.

SOURCE: water leaking from under the front of the washing machine

The pump is easy to replace:
#1 Use a shop vac and pull all the water out of the drain line. This will keep you from having to clean up about 1 gallon of water off of the floor.
#2 Lift the front of the machine enough for you to get under and see.the pump just inside the front of the washer.
#3 Lift the 2 retaining clips off of the pump. This will allow you to pull the pump off of the motor.
#4 Remove the 2 clamps off of the hoses.
#5 Install the new pump into the hoses, and reinstall the clamps.
#6 With the retaining clips installed into the motor housing, install the pump.
#7 Attach the retaining clips, and set the washer back on the ground.

You have now replaced the washer pump.

During washing saw water coming from under washer.
The only way is to pull it out and lean it up against the wall and look with a flashlight. It is almost certainly a split hose or a bad connection on a hose. Possibly the pump.

My samsung washing machine 8.0 kg diamond drum model WA104F does not function and no water comes out from the source but power supply is ok
Turn off the water going to the washing machine, and disconnect the hoses at the machine (put a pail under each hose to catch drips or leaks from the shutoff valves). Inspect the strainers at the hose connectors on the machine - they may be clogged with lime or sediment. If so, use a wet-or-dry vacuum cleaner (e. g., ShopVac) to clean the strainers, or if they are easily removed, you can back-flush them under a faucet.

Even if one valve is plugged, the machine may shut down until the problem is corrected. Some models flash an error code indicating a water supply problem - see your owner's manual.

Leak around Duet wash machine
What side is it on? The front panel under the door comes off. You can then see the pump and drain. If it is not coming from those it could be the fill hose or the detergent dispensor. Also might be the door seal. Location of the leak is important

Dishwasher is not washing
Possibly inlet hose line is blocked with crud from your water source. Please confirm by turning off water under sink, disconnecting hose under dishwasher and, WITH HOSE IN AN OLD MILK BOTTLE, slowly turn on water under sink to verify water flow. If ok, water inlet selenoid is blocked and needs to cleared (with compressed air). Alternatively, input seleniod is burned out and needs to be replaced.

GE washing maching not filling
Several factors can cause a GE washing machine not to allow water to enter the drum, including closed valves, kinked hoses, a faulty electrical breaker or sediment in the water lines. Sediment occurs most often when the water to the home is off due to electrical outages or when installing items in the plumbing. Cleaning the screens will remove a sediment blockage, allowing water into a washing machine.
    • 1 Check each water valve for the hot and cold water lines to make sure they are open completely. Open valves are turned completely to the left. Check the fuse at the electrical box to make sure it is not faulty, and check to make sure the washer is plugged securely into the outlet. Observe the water supply hoses to make sure there are no kinks from the supply valves to the back of the appliance.
      Observe the water supply valve handles to see if they are cracked. If so, they need replacing.
    • 2 Turn off both the hot and cold water supply valves. Turn each knob completely counterclockwise to turn them to the off position. Pull the washer forward to reach the water supply valves, hoses and the back of the washing machine. Place one hand on each side of the washing machine and slightly lift the front while pulling straight out from the wall.
    • 3 Place a bucket at the rear of the appliance. Use adjustable pliers to unscrew the hot and cold water hoses on the back of the washing machine. Turn each hose counterclockwise to unscrew and remove from the washing machine while pointing them into the bucket to catch any water in the hoses.
    • 4 Turn on the hot water supply valve and hold the hose pointing into the bucket. Observe to see if water is coming out of the hose or trickling out of the hose. Repeat this procedure for the cold water supply hose. Limited water or no water flow indicates that the lack of flow is at the valve end of the water supply hoses.
    • 5 Pull the filters out of the washer valves with needle-nose pliers. Rinse under warm water to clean out any sediment and replace them in the hot and cold water washer valves on the appliance.
    • 6 Unscrew the hot water supply hose from the valve using adjustable pliers. Turn the hose connector clockwise to unscrew and remove. Repeat this procedure with the cold water supply hose. Pull out the screen from each hose with needle-nose pliers and rinse under warm water to clean. Replace the screens.
    • 7 Replace both water supply hoses on the washer valves and the washing machine and tighten them with adjustable pliers. Slide the washing machine back into place and level the legs by slightly lifting the front of the washing machine and setting it back down.

It is leaking under the washer tub
Hi,

Leaking water from a washing machine usually comes from hoses or connections. Be sure that water appearing to be a

leak isn’t drain water from a backed-up standpipe. To prevent potential flood damage, which can occur if washing

machine supply hoses burst, be sure to install “no-burst” stainless-steel mesh hoses and lever-type shutoff valves,

as shown below. With these, you can easily turn off the levers for both hot and cold water between wash days.


1) Check the fittings where the hoses connect to the faucets and to the back of the washing machine. Also look for

worn or leaky hoses. Tighten couplings or hose clamps if needed, or replace the hoses altogether. Be sure to turn

the water off before removing the hoses, and drain them into a bucket after disconnecting them.

2) Determine whether the machine is oversudsing, which can cause the machine to overflow. Reduce suds by pouring 1/2

cup white vinegar in 1 quart water into the washer. Then switch to either less detergent or a low-sudsing variety.

3) The machine may have a faulty basket gasket or tub seal and bearing that must be replaced; in this case, call an

appliance repairperson.

My samsung washing machiene keeps coming up with the error 4e. what does this mean?
When error message 4E is displayed, you should clean the water hose mesh filter. To do this:

1. Turn off the water source to the washing machine.
2. Unscrew the hose from the back of the washing machine.

4. Push the filter back into place.
5. Screw the hose back onto the washing machine.
6. Turn on the faucet and make sure the connections are watertight.

Washing machine
you almost certainly have a blocked filter .Unplug the machine , take the screws out from the back you will see a black hose coming from the tub to the pump, this is the filter if the machine is still full of water get yourself a washing up bowl and lower the grey waste pipe into the bowl and gravity should let the water out, raise the pipe when bowl is full.If no water comes out like that tilt the machine forward and put the bowl under the black hose undo the clip with pliers and slowly take the hose off water will flow when full push hose back up and empty the bowl keep doing this until empty , then remove blockage. Getting someone to hold the machine while you do this will be much easier.
