Samsung Top Load Washer Leaking On Floor
It’s a good thing my client came home when he did, just in time to keep his entire bottom floor from being flooded. Apparently his wife had started the washer and left to do some errands, something the manufacturer warns you not to do, while I have seen this lead to some catastrophic damage, luckily caught it just in the nick of time.
Still, it had completely flooded the laundry room floor, and the way he discovered it was rather painful. He came walking in the room and slipped and hit the floor hard, he was still nursing his shoulder when I showed up. I was thankful that neither he nor the house had suffered any serious damage.
The leak was caused by a faulty clamp on a hose underneath that had given way and let the hose slip off of it’s connection, thus allowing water to just pour all over the place. I once had a similar case in which the washer was on the second floor and the owners had gone out to dinner and by the time they got home the water had flooded the second and first floors.
Leaks on upper levels in a house tend to pyramid, in other words, what affected one room on the first floor will spread to 3 or 4 rooms on the level beneath and to 6 or 7 on the level beneath that.
So do yourself a favor and plan your washing around times when you can be home and you can prevent a world of problems.
Anyway, as bad as the issue was, I had the necessary parts with me to take care of the hose problem and within an hour my client had his machine back online, complete with a 90 day warranty.
