💧 Washer Leaking Water? It Could Be the Valves
If your washer is leaving water on the floor, worn or faulty water inlet valves are often the culprit. Over time, these valves can crack, loosen, or fail, leading to leaks and inconsistent water flow.
🔍 Common causes include:
• Normal wear and tear after years of use
• Mineral buildup affecting valve function
• Loose or damaged connections
⚠️ What to do:
Turn off the water supply immediately to prevent further damage, and avoid running the washer until it’s checked.
Washer water inlet valves are usually not worth repairing. In most cases, they’re replaced rather than fixed.
• These valves are sealed components with internal solenoids and screens
• If they fail (leaking, not opening/closing properly), internal parts aren’t really serviceable
• Cleaning the small inlet screens can help if the issue is low water flow, but it won’t fix leaks or mechanical failure
🛠️ The fix: replacing the water valves and securing connections will stop the leak and restore proper performance.
