My Samsung Washer is Leaking
When your Samsung washer is leaking, shut it off, unplug it, and check where the water appears before ordering parts. The most common cause is a cracked or damaged drain pump, or worn pump bearings, which can make a washing machine leak from underneath as it drains. Next, inspect the fill hose, drain hose, and tub-to-pump hoses for cracks, loose connections, or damaged fittings. A torn tub seal can also cause a washer leaking problem and allow water to reach the tub bearings. If the seal is leaking, replace the tub seal and tub bearing kit together, since this repair requires substantial washer disassembly. For a front load washer leaking from the front or top, check that the dispenser drawer is fully closed and replace it if cracked. Finally, using too much detergent or the wrong type can create excessive suds and cause water to escape through the overflow system. Whether your washer is leaking water during filling, washing, or draining, enter your model number to find the exact replacement part for your specific Samsung washing machine.
01 - Samsung Washing Machine Hose
Hoses apart from the fill hose or drain hose could be reponsible for a leaking washer. You should inspect all of the appliance's hoses, such as tub-to-pump hoses, for damage or loose connections and replace if necessary.

02 - Samsung Washing Machine Drain Pump
The drain pump pumps water out the drain hose. If the drain pump is cracked or damaged, or if the bearings are worn out, the drain pump may leak water. The drain pump is not repairable—if the pump is leaking water, replace it.

03 - Samsung Washing Machine Tub Seal and Bearing Kit
The tub seal might be torn, causing water to leak from the seal. If the tub seal is leaking water, water may leak through the tub seal and into the tub bearings. This can cause the bearings to fail. For this reason, if the tub seal is leaking water, replace both the tub seal and the tub bearings. Be aware that this is a complicated repair and will require disassembling most of the washer.

If a washer is leaking water, you should confirm the dispenser drawer is completely closed and free of damage. If the drawer is cracked, the component could be responsible for the leak and should be replaced.

06 - Wrong type or incorrect amount of detergent
If you have a front-load washer, be certain that you are using an HE - high efficiency - detergent. HE detergent is formulated to be low-sudsing and to be used with the lower water levels utilized by front-load washers. Front-load washers have a small overflow system usually on the back of the appliance. If you have too many suds, they are probably escaping from there.
Highly Likely
07 - Samsung Washing Machine Tub-to-Pump Hose
The tub-to-pump-hose might be split or torn. If the tub-to-pump-hose is damaged, replace it. Do not attempt to cut off the damaged piece of hose and stretch the hose to fit the pump. Stretching the hose will put strain on the remainder of the hose and may cause the hose to suddenly rupture.
