What if water is close to the washer socket?

Keep away from the wet electrical area and do not reach through water to unplug the machine. Water around a supply connection changes the situation from routine appliance troubleshooting to an immediate safety concern.

Understanding this situation

If isolation can be achieved safely from a dry location, use that route; otherwise obtain urgent qualified assistance. Avoid standing in water or moving a heavy wet appliance to reach its plug. Do not restart after simply wiping the visible puddle.

A useful next step

Report both the water location and the appliance symptom. The electrical supply and the source of leakage need to be assessed appropriately before reuse. If there is smoke, fire or an immediate danger, use emergency services rather than continuing checks.

Manuals and supporting guidance

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