Can I use a washer with a cracked door glass?

Leave the appliance unused and arrange assessment. A crack in the door assembly should not be tested with another wash to see whether it leaks.

Understanding this situation

The door must contain water and moving laundry under its designed conditions. A crack, chip or displaced panel can change that protection, and tape cannot establish that the assembly will remain intact during heating or spin.

A useful next step

Keep children and pets away and avoid handling sharp edges. Provide the model and an accessible description of the damage. Do not remove the glass, tighten random fasteners or select a gentle cycle as a temporary workaround.

Manuals and supporting guidance

Model-specific instructions take priority. These references support the practical principles discussed here; they do not diagnose your appliance.
