Frigidaire Washer Leaking?

Turn off both water supply valves before inspecting hose connections. If the leak has been ongoing, check for mold on the floor or wall behind the washer. Persistent moisture in enclosed spaces can become a health issue.

On Frigidaire front-load washers, the rubber door boot (gasket) is the most common leak source. Inspect all the folds of the boot for tears, holes, or objects lodged in the rubber. Also check for mold or detergent buildup that might prevent the boot from sealing against the door glass.

If water drips from the front of the machine during fill, the dispenser housing may be clogged with detergent residue. Pull out the dispenser drawer, clean it thoroughly, and clean the housing above it with warm water and a brush. Too much detergent also causes suds to push water out around the door seal.

Inspect both water supply hoses at the back of the washer. Tighten any loose connections and check the rubber washers inside the hose fittings. Replace any hose that shows bulging, cracking, or corrosion at the fittings.

Open the small access door at the bottom front of the washer. If the drain filter cap is not fully tightened after cleaning, or if the cap’s rubber gasket is damaged, water will weep out during the cycle. Remove the cap, check the gasket, and re-seat it firmly.

Frigidaire/Electrolux washers have a small rubber hose from the tub to the pressure switch. If this hose cracks or comes off, water can spray inside the machine and drip out the bottom. You can access it by removing the top panel of the washer (usually 2–3 screws at the back).
