Finding water pooling underneath the bottom of a residential washing machine is typically caused by a loose internal hose clamp, a cracked drain pump housing, a clogged and overflowing detergent dispenser drawer, or a damaged outer tub seal. If excessive laundry detergent creates a mountain of foam during a cycle, the suds can push out through the overflow vent or door seal during high-speed spinning, creating an intermittent puddle. You can troubleshoot leak sources easily using the paper towel drying method. You can verify that your corrective action is successful when using high-efficiency low-suds detergent, tightening internal rubber hose clamps, and replacing cracked pump housings stops bottom puddles entirely.
