Safe first steps

  1. Inspect the area around the washing machine for any visible water leaks.
  2. Ensure the washing machine is properly drained by checking the drain hose for kinks or blockages.
  3. If you find any leaks, dry the area and check the hoses and connections for damage.
  4. If the leak persists after checking the hoses, arrange a service visit — do not use the appliance.

When to stop

  • Stop if you see water pooling around the base of the machine — risk of electric shock.
