Yes, a residential washing machine can leak water onto the floor if the appliance is not properly leveled on the laundry room floor. When the leveling feet are uneven, the heavy inner wash tub sits crooked inside the outer housing, causing water to slosh unevenly toward one side during agitation or spin cycles. This severe imbalance can cause water to splash over the rim of the outer tub or escape past the protective rubber door gasket on front-loaders. You can troubleshoot balance easily using a bubble level. You can verify that your corrective action is successful when adjusting the threaded leveling legs until the bubble rests perfectly centered stops splashing and prevents leaks during full wash cycles.
