If water leaks from the faucet or water supply hose of your LG front
load washer, the hose may be loose, misaligned, worn, or damaged.
Additionally, a faulty faucet or excessive water pressure can also
cause this issue.
Why Is Water Leaking From the Faucet or Water Supply Hose?
If water leaks from the faucet or water supply hose, it is typically caused by:
- A loose or misaligned water supply hose at the faucet
- A damaged faucet or excessive water pressure
- A loose connection at the inlet valve on the back of your washer
- A worn, cracked, torn, or punctured water supply hose
How to Stop the Leak
Case 1. If Water Leaks from the Faucet Connection
Close the water supply faucet. Disconnect the water supply hose from the faucet. Align the hose connector and reconnect it securely.
Case 2. If Water Leaks from the Faucet
Turn the water supply valve to reduce the water pressure. If the leak continues, the faucet may be damaged and must be replaced.
Case 3. If the Water Supply Hose Is Damaged

punctured.
Purchase a compatible replacement hose from the LG website, LG

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Q. How Often Should I Replace the Water Supply Hose?
- A. While there is no set replacement schedule, rubber hoses can harden over time. To prevent leaks, replace your water supply hose if it becomes stiff or shows visible damage, such as cracks, tears, or bulges.
