Washing machine leaking water? Dit is wie je moet bellen

A washing machine that leaks water during fill, wash, or spin cycles can quickly damage flooring, promote mold growth, and create slip hazards. The cause is often a worn door gasket, cracked tub, loose hose clamp, or failing water inlet valve. An appliance repair technician can pinpoint the leak source, replace the faulty part, and verify the machine runs a full cycle without dripping.
