If an appliance or plumbing fill valve is actively leaking, immediate action is required to prevent water damage. First, immediately turn off the dedicated local water supply shut-off valve (or the main home water supply line) and unplug the electrical power cord to ensure complete safety. Next, inspect the threaded hose connections to see if a simple rubber washer replacement or tightening fixes an external leak. If water is seeping internally past a closed valve into the appliance tub, the internal seals have failed, requiring a complete replacement of the water inlet valve assembly. You can verify that the leak has stopped by turning the water supply back on and monitoring the area for dry conditions.
