Washer floor tray – If you can’t afford to replace or repair your leaking washing machine right away or want to protect against future leaks, slide a water catching tray under your washing machine to catch drips and leaks. It’s a simple, inexpensive way to prevent water damage to your floor from a leaky washing machine. Purchase price around $20.

Replace water supply hoses – Over time, water supply hoses can become brittle and burst. Check them periodically and replace your old hoses with the newer types that consist of flexible plastic tubing encased in a stainless steel braided exterior. Better still, upgrade to the new auto-shutoff connector hoses that protect against catastrophic water damage by automatically shutting off the water supply to the washing machine if excess water flow is sensed. These ingenious hoses cost only about $20 each and can be used on washing machines, dishwashers and other plumbing fixtures and appliances.

Single-lever shutoff valve – If you are a conscientious launder like my mother and can remember to turn the water off after each load of wash, replace your dual faucets with a single-lever faucet that lets you controls both hot and cold water at the same time. A low cost solution that’s easy to use! Pick one up at any hardware store for about $25.

Flood protection device – An automatic water leak detection device prevents flooding by immediately shutting off both the hot and cold water supply to the washing machine when sensors detect a water leak. These devices are quick and easy to install by homeowners and provide 24/7 protection against damage caused by washing machine floods. Some even sound an audible alarm. Price tag is less than $150.

Automatic Washing Machine Water Shutoff Valve and Leak Sensor – This “intelligent” valve does it all to protect against catastrophic water damage from a burst inlet hose connected to a washing machine that is in use or unattended! It allows water to flow only when it senses that the washing machine is turned on and stops water from flowing if the machine is turned off. It also stops water from flowing if it senses excessive water flow or detects a leak. Easy to hookup yourself. Can be found online for under $200. A great investment to prevent all washing machine leaks regardless of the cause.

Find out when it leaks: If the leak starts during the spin cycle on your machine, it could be a leaky drain hose. Locate the drain hose and make sure the connections are all tight. You may have to purchase a new drain hose if the existing one is damaged. This is an easy DIY fix.

Check the hoses: Locate the hoses that feed and drain the water from your machine. If you find water where they are connected, check the clamps to make sure they are tight. If the clamps are secure, check the outlet pipe to make sure there aren’t any kinks are preventing the water from flowing. If you find any leaks in the hose, you’ll have to replace them.

Make sure the machine is balanced: It may sound hard to believe, but something as simple as your machine being tilted can cause water to leak. If you’ve recently installed or moved your machine, make sure it is completely level. Even the slightest tilt can cause water to leak from the front of the machine.

Check the seal: The build up of soap can prevent a proper seal. Wipe the door seal carefully. Check to see if there are any areas where the seal is loose, torn or cracked and replace if necessary.
