Fix for Leaky Washing Machine
Join us in this video as we investigate why Vicki's washer was leaking and how we found the fix!
Watch this video to see how we fixed Vicki's leaky LG washer.
We started by tracing the leak. It led us to the inlet valves but they did not appear to be leaking from the outside so we went inside.
It was easy to unscrew the back panel and we noticed the hot water inlet valve looked rusty.
We sent this picture to the washer manufacture and they told us we needed a new hot water inlet valve. We ordered a new part- $15.
We put the new part in place and 6 loads of laundry later...no leak!
