Problem: Leak detection – water detected in base pan activating float switch
How to Fix Washer Error
- UNPLUG WASHER IMMEDIATELY and turn off water supply valves.
- Tilt washer backward 45 degrees using wood blocks under front feet to access base pan.
- Remove 3 screws securing base pan and lower carefully – expect standing water.
- Dry base pan completely with towels and shop vacuum.
- Locate source of leak: inspect inlet valve connections, drain pump seals, tub gasket, and hoses.
- Common culprits: cracked drain pump housing, loose hose clamp, torn tub seal, or split inlet hose.
- Run washer briefly with water supply on to observe leak source (use flashlight and mirror).
- Replace leaking component: tub seal W10837740, drain hose WPW10351854, or inlet valve W
- Verify float switch resets after pan is completely dry (should show open circuit when dry).
- Reinstall base pan and test washer through complete cycle monitoring for leaks every 5 minutes.
Still Not Working?
If the replacement part didn’t fix the issue, you may have a wiring problem or main board failure.
