I have an LG washer-front load about 4 years old. I did a small load of throw rugs and when it was done, I found a lot of water had leaked out of the bottom of the washer and all over my basement. What is the problem and can I fix it myself?
PS – I started to open the knob behind the door on the front of the washer and a lot of water started to flow out.
Thanks
That knob behind the door on the front of the washer is your drain catch, so all the water left inside the wash tub will come flowing out when you unscrew the knob. That is normal.
As for water leaking out, it may have just overflowed and gone out the overflow hose. The best thing to do it just pull the washer out and remove the back panel. Watch a load and if it doesn’t leak, just be sure to not wash your rugs inside the washer again. If you see water leaking out the front, your rubber door gasket has likely been ripped and will need to be replaced.
