Finding water pooling underneath the bottom of a residential washing machine only occasionally—such as during specific cycles—is usually caused by a partially clogged drain hose, a loose internal hose clamp, or suds overflowing from the detergent dispenser. If excessive laundry detergent creates a mountain of suds, the foam can push out through the overflow vent or door seal during high-speed spinning, creating an intermittent puddle. You can troubleshoot suds levels easily. You can verify that your corrective action is successful when using high-efficiency low-suds detergent, tightening internal rubber hose clamps, and straightening drain hoses eliminates intermittent bottom puddles entirely.
