Why A Puddle Forms Under The Washing Machine

It happens that during washing, a puddle appears under the washing machine. Not rarely, very impressive sizes. Its owner immediately has the idea of a serious breakdown associated with the supply or removal of water, or some kind of internal leakage. In many cases, such assumptions are true. However, not always.

The main causes of the problem

The main reasons for the occurrence of puddles under the washer include:

- a leak arising in the drain or water supply pipe, which may be caused by blockage, scale formation on its stacks or mechanical damage;

- damage or wear of the rubber cuff of the loading door;

- leak of the working drum, which happens quite rarely;

- deterioration of the gasket of the water supply hose.

It is worth noting that if the owner of the gasket can still cope with the replacement of the gasket on his own, then in the matter of eliminating other breakdowns, you should not risk it, but call the wizard. Since, without certain knowledge and skills, attempts to cope with a problem on their own can only aggravate it, which will require even greater expenses for the restoration of equipment.

Unbelievable but true!

There is another, quite unexpected reason for the possible appearance of puddles under the machine during the washing process. This is, oddly enough, washing ... curtains. Yes this is true. This fact is explained by the fact that during the execution of this procedure, the powder begins to foam very much, while the curtains almost do not absorb water, but they foam well enough. It is whipped so much that it seeks to get out of the machine, through all the technological holes, after which it turns into water, spreading across the floor and terrifying the owner of a perfectly working equipment.
