Determining whether a water valve is leaking requires visual inspection and pressure monitoring. Always shut off electrical power if inspecting valves near wiring. Look for visible water droplets, mineral scale buildup, damp puddles, or rust stains around the valve body, threaded hose connections, and mounting gaskets. If you suspect an internal leak where water slowly seeps past a closed valve into an appliance tub when the machine is turned off, monitor the water level inside the drum over several hours to see if it rises without the machine running. You can verify a leak is fixed when the surrounding area remains completely dry during pressurized testing.
