If you have a washing machine leak in the front or back, it may mean that there is a failure in a seal or that one of the containers is not correctly balanced. In the event the leak is coming from the front of the washer, it is likely an issue with the seal of the door. If the leak is coming from the back, then it may be an issue with the water line connections. If the leak is coming from underneath the machine or somewhere else, it may be that there is an internal connection problem within the housing of the washer.

The best way to fix this issue dependslargely on where the leak is coming from.

It is more common than it should be for high efficiency, front-loading washing machines to develop a bad, sour smell over time. This is caused by the thick rubber seals necessary to keep water from leaking while your washer is working. These seals fold over tightly and water can puddle in them. This then encourages mildew growth and can cause bad smells in the washer – even when nothing is inside it.

The good news about this issue is that there is actually nothing wrong with your washer – it is just damp and mildew has been allowed to grow. The solution is fairly simple: Kill the mildew and find ways to increase airflow so the problem does not persist.

There are a few ways you can kill the mildew. One, you can run the washer empty with white vinegar and borax granules in place of detergent. Vinegar works to kill funguses and mildew, while the borax kills organic spores that create the smell.

If this problem persists then you will need to clean it often. If it seems to happen every quickly, then there may be something wrong with your seal. At this point you can contact your local appliance repair company to get help repairing your unit. Authorized Appliance Repair at (833) 220-1666 .
