A leak appears near the end of the wash

A leak first noticed during emptying or fast movement needs its timing recorded. Earlier parts of the programme may have appeared normal.

What the symptom can mean

The late stages combine rinsing, emptying and faster drum movement. A waste-route leak and a movement-related leak can therefore appear at similar times without having the same cause.

Place it in the cycle

Describe whether the machine was draining, rinsing or building spin speed when water appeared. Say whether the panel later showed end or a warning. Keep the wet side of the cabinet in the description.

Separate movement from water

Mention whether the washer moved or shook before the puddle was seen. If the leak began after a change to a waste connection or floor, include that history without pulling the appliance out for a closer photograph.
