How to Fix IFB Washing Machine Water Leakage

Step-by-Step Inspection Checklist

1. Inspect the inlet hose connection at the back of the machine and the tap for loose washers or cross-threading.
2. Check the drain pump filter located at the bottom front panel; ensure it is screwed in tightly and free of coins, lint, or debris.
3. Examine the rubber door gasket for tears, holes, or trapped foreign objects like hairpins that prevent a proper seal.
4. Check the drain hose for cracks or blockages that might cause water to back up and overflow during the cycle.

Safe Steps to Try Before Calling a Technician

1. Turn off the water supply tap and unplug the machine from the power socket before inspecting any components.
2. Place a shallow tray or towel under the drain pump filter area to catch residual water before opening it.
3. Wipe the door gasket clean with a damp cloth to remove soap scum and debris that may be breaking the seal.
4. Ensure the machine is perfectly level on the floor, as an unbalanced unit can cause water to splash over the drum edges.
