# Frigidaire washer leak repair

### Finding it is the job; the part is usually small

Water on a laundry-room floor has half a dozen possible origins and they are not equally likely — the fill hoses at the wall, the door seal on a front-loader, the pump trap somebody opened and did not close, the drain hose where it enters the standpipe. In a condominium laundry closet the machine is boxed in on three sides, so the water appears at the threshold whatever its source, and the visit is mostly about running the machine through a cycle and watching which stage produces it.

What this involves

Where the water is decides everything that follows

A door seal in this climate never dries and eventually perishes at the fold

A shared stack backing up is checked before the machine is condemned

Dry everything and run a controlled cycle

With paper under the machine, so the first drop is seen where it lands.

Check the door seal fold

On a front-loader in Miami this is where leaks and smells both begin, and both are the same wet fold.

Inspect hoses, clamps and the inlet body

Including the age of the fill hoses, which are the ones that flood a building when they go.

Watch the drain

A standpipe that surcharges puts water on the floor with the machine working correctly.

Confirm with a full cycle

Because a leak on spin only is invisible during a wash.

### How do I tell a supply leak from a drain leak while I wait?

Look at when it appears. Water present with the machine off and idle is the supply side, water only at the end of a cycle is the drain, and water during the wash itself is the door seal or the tub.

### The rubber seal on the front is black and moldy. Is that where the leak is?

It can be, and either way it is worth dealing with. Mold on a front-loader gasket holds the fold open so the seal no longer meets the glass evenly, which is how a hygiene problem turns into a leak.
