What to do now
Close both valves
Behind the washer.
Check the hoses
Bulging or cracked supply hoses can burst.
Burst hoses cause floods
Rubber supply hoses can burst and release water continuously. Braided stainless hoses last longer. Water on floors can spread under flooring and into cabinets or the ceiling below. Dry it promptly. If it has soaked in, see appliance leak water damage.
Common causes
Supply hose
Cracked, bulging or loose.
Door boot seal
Front-loaders leak at the door.
Drain pump or hose
Leaks during draining.
Too much detergent
Suds overflow.
