Yes, chronically overloading a residential washing machine with too many heavy garments, blankets, or rugs can directly cause water to leak onto the laundry room floor. When an overloaded drum spins at high speeds, the severe weight imbalance causes the inner basket to slam violently against the outer tub, splashing water over the upper splash guard rim. In front-load washers, overloading can warp the door glass or distort the flexible rubber door boot seal, allowing water to escape. You can troubleshoot load size easily by reducing laundry volume. You can verify that your corrective action is successful when splitting oversized loads into smaller, balanced batches prevents violent shaking and stops water from splashing out of the drum.
