Yes, a residential washing machine can leak water onto the floor even when the appliance is turned off and not currently running a cycle, and this points directly to a constant water supply issue. The primary culprit is a defective electric water inlet valve solenoid that fails to close completely, allowing household water pressure to slowly push past the worn internal plunger and drip into the drum until it overflows. Another cause is a cracked or leaking water supply hose connected to the wall faucet. You can troubleshoot supply leaks easily by turning off the wall valves. You can verify that your corrective action is successful when turning off the hot and cold faucets stops the passive leaking and replacing the faulty inlet valve or supply hose resolves the issue.
