My washing machine ‘front loader electrolux’ is leaking at the back where the water pipe fits into the machine?
I have replaced the water pipe but it still leaks when machine is in operation and even worse when the machine is off. Any suggestions on repair men? Has anyone else had this problem? I’ve only had the machine for 3 yrs.
Where the water pipe is screwed in you will find a rubbery washer, it is usually black. This has probably compressed and hardened and may then be causing a leak. Replace that washer only. Screw the connector up tightly but do not over tighten as this will distort the connector and another leak will result. If you try the “plumbers tape” as well, it is called PTFE tape. Wrap that around the thread twice only and screw up the hose tightly.

refit the pipe with some plumbers tape around the threads, it is shaking loose.
