Build the condition record
Build the condition record
- Note the cycle stage and how many minutes passed before water appeared.
- Photograph visible hose routes and wet boundaries without moving the appliance.
- Record whether the standpipe rises, another fixture gurgles, or the drain discharges elsewhere.
- List recent appliance movement, hose replacement, valve work, drain service or load imbalance.
Why the pattern matters
Why the pattern matters
Stop the appliance if that can be done from a dry, normal control. Do not reach an outlet, plug, valve, or panel through standing water. Water at the wall during drain can differ from water at a hose during fill or under the machine throughout agitation.
Questions the record should answer
Questions the record should answer
- Is the first wet point on building plumbing, a connector, the appliance, or still concealed?
- Who owns appliance repair versus licensed plumbing work?
- Does investigation require moving the unit, and who protects the floor and reconnects it?
- What fill, agitate and drain observation will confirm a dry return to use?
