Why does the washing machine flow from below

Habitual washing, doing other household chores ... You came to the bathroom and saw that the washing machine downstairs was leaking during the wash. This puddle needs to be corrected immediately and immediately start with your washing machine. But not everyone knows what to do when the washing machine is leaking.

What to do if the machine leaks

A useful instruction for those who do not know why the washing machine starts to leak from the bottom when washing:

• If water can flow to the floor, then try to walk as carefully as possible. This is necessary so that you can unplug the machine from the outlet. If this cannot be done, then you just need to turn off the electricity in the switchboard;

  

• To prevent water from flowing further, you need to shut off the water supply. If this is not possible, then you can turn off the water supply throughout the house. And this can be done using a plumbing cabinet;

  

• The next step is to remove all things from the washing machine. If the wash has ended completely, then this can be done as before, but if the cycle has stopped due to the fact that a leak has begun, then first you need to drain all that water, (this can be done using the drain filter, which is located in the hatch, there where the lower right part of the front panel is located) which remained and only then we get all the things.

  

• Now start looking for the place from where the water began to flow.

Types of breakdowns

A variety of problems could lead to your washing machine starting to leak. Some of them you can find yourself and also fix them. But there are also cases where you cannot do without the help of a specialist and his tools.

• The drum has ceased to rotate;
• The water from the washing machine tank does not drain;
• The washing cycle is out of order;
• After washing or during, a puddle begins to form on the floor;
• Excessive vibration during device operation;
• The water does not heat up.

Water supply hose

Since the washing machine is not a stand-alone device, it needs to be connected to the electrical system, sewerage and water supply. This is exactly the kind of help that the water supply hose belongs to.

The hose connects the appliance to the water supply pipe. And it is needed in order to fill household appliances with water. The water supply hose can be:

1. Rubber;
2. Reinforced;
3. Rubber hose with additional tube with Aquastop system.

Drain filter

A drain filter is installed in every washing machine model.It is necessary in order to protect the pump from debris and other little things that can get into the tank along with clothes. It is necessary to ensure that it is always clean, so from time to time it should be cleaned of foreign objects.

If you do not follow it, then the washing machine will start to fail very soon and water from the machine will be able to flow very simply:

• Will stop pumping water and will constantly show the drain code error;
• The water from the tank will start to drain slowly and not all. Will stop its work on its own, and show an error;
• Sometimes you will hear sounds like something got inside.

Broken tray

In washing machines, an automatic dispenser is a container with a pull-out function that can be refilled with powder or gel before washing. For it to work, you need:

• Watch out for sediment from bad water;
• Make sure that the powder dissolves completely, otherwise the grate will start to clog.

If you do not notice these little things, then water will very quickly begin to pour out through the edges of the opening of the tray. If such a problem happens before your eyes, then you can fix it yourself. One has only to remove the dispenser and rinse the walls of the hole with running water.

Poor quality of pipes

A problem in the pipe can be noticed if water leaks at the bottom of the washing machine and after a while it stops by itself. To fix the problem, you just need to replace the bad pipes.

Pump and tank

A pump is a pump that can be located in an automatic and semi-automatic washing machine. He is responsible for draining dirty water after washing into the sewer. If this element has some kind of malfunction, then this will lead to the fact that the washing machine stops draining water, or it will do it very slowly. Also, the rinsing process will go badly, the spin will be disturbed, as well as the main washing mode. That is why the presence of this tool in modern machines is mandatory.

How long this equipment will serve you depends on which tank is in the washing machine. There is no need to choose between silitek and plastic, because they are almost the same. But it is best to choose a stainless steel, it will last longer and will not be able to crack during the move or any other manipulations.

Other problems

Among other types of problems, there are also the following:

1. The washing machine cannot spin the laundry;
2. No drum rotation;
3. Intense water pressure;
4. There is too much powder in the dispenser;
5. The dispenser has not been washed after last use;
6. The engine is burnt out;
7. The door is not completely closed, so water can leak and cause damage, as well as a short circuit of electricity.

A washing machine is now in every house. She, like any other technique, sooner or later begins to break down. You have to spend money not only on spare parts, tools, but also in order to call a master who is ready to carry out repair work.

Just remember that half of all problems can still be solved at home, absolutely independently. There are not many parts in the washing machine, so you only need to find one and solve your problem.

Important! Trying to fix something, you can do even more damage to your technique by your actions.

Before starting repairs, you should always have tools at home for such a case:

1. Phillips and flat head screwdrivers;
2. Pliers;
3. Ticks;
4. Long nose pliers;

Preventive maintenance is needed to ensure that your washing machine cannot leak from the bottom during washing. It is necessary that it works for a long time and correctly.

Tips for using your washing machine

It is best to load dry laundry evenly. This means you don't have to put too many clothes in there. The most optimal load is slightly more than half the tank.

Always dry the machine after washing. Leaving it with drops or even worse with a lot of water inside is strictly prohibited.

If your washing machine has stopped working, then you must understand that you need to make repairs. Otherwise, if this is not done in a timely manner, then it will be much more difficult or even impossible to fix the breakdown.

You also need to fight scale, and even better, sort things before putting everything in the drum. White T-shirts do not need to be put in the machine with a green or red sweater. It is also worth paying attention to the material from which this or that thing is sewn. Shipping everything together is also not the best solution.

Thanks to these seemingly simple recommendations, you will easily follow your technique. Thus, it can serve you not even five years, but much more.
