A washer repair call in Canton brought us to a 2019 LG front-load washer with water leaking from the bottom. The customer reported water pooling underneath the unit during wash cycles. Our diagnosis revealed a split cold water fill hose shooting water directly into the cabinet.
The Problem
Water is leaking from the bottom of washer. The homeowner noticed water accumulating under the machine during operation, creating a mess in the laundry room.
Diagnosis
The cold water fill hose had split. This caused water to shoot into the cabinet. The damaged hose was allowing pressurized water to spray inside the washer cabinet rather than flowing properly to the wash tub.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: 5214ER4001B — cold water fill hose
- Work performed: I replaced the hose. While I was working on the washer, I re-installed the ring that holds the boot on.
- Result: The leak was eliminated and normal water flow restored
Is It Worth Repairing?
A 2019 LG washer is definitely worth repairing. LG makes reliable front-load washers, and this unit has many years of service life remaining. A split fill hose is a common wear item that’s relatively inexpensive to replace compared to purchasing a new washer.
Maintenance Tips for LG Washers
- Check water supply hoses annually for cracks, bulges, or brittleness — replace every 5-7 years as preventive maintenance
- Clean the door boot seal monthly to prevent mold and maintain proper sealing
- Run LG’s self-clean cycle monthly with LG-approved tub cleaner to prevent buildup and odors
