[LG Front Load Washer] Leaks During Drain Cycle

Troubleshooting

Let's find out more.

If your washing machine leaks during the drain cycle, it could be because the drain hose is not properly secured to the drain, or the drain itself is clogged, causing water to overflow.

Try this.

Check the Drain Hose Connection

→ Make sure the drain hose is securely fixed to the drain.

If the drain hose is not properly secured to the drain, water will not be effectively channeled into the drain, resulting in leaks onto the floor during the drain cycle.
Please inspect both the drain hose and the drain when a significant amount of water leaks during draining.

Drain hose fully inserted into the drainpipe / Drain hose loosely connected or disconnected
Inspect for Clogged Drain

→ If the drain is clogged, water can overflow and be mistaken for a leak from the washing machine.

If the drain is clogged with debris, clean it to restore proper drainage.
It is recommended to clean the drain on a regular basis.
Note that a drain trap installed to minimize odors might temporarily slow drainage, causing water to overflow around the drain before draining away completely.
