Commercial Washer Leak Solutions

Leaking washers can quickly become costly and disruptive to commercial laundry operations. Addressing leaks efficiently is crucial to maintain smooth business functions and prevent further damage. Regular checks and maintenance of hoses, valves, and seals can significantly reduce the risk of leaks. Keeping an eye on your washing machines, especially during the spin cycle, and promptly addressing any issues, like cracked hoses or faulty valves, can save money and time. Protect your business by ensuring your equipment is in top shape and avoid potential downtime.

When your commercial washer is leaking water, it can create a huge mess, so you’ll want to correct the issue right away. Here are a few things to look out for:

Drain Hose – If the washer is leaking during the spin cycle, you probably have a problem with your drain hose. Check the connections to make sure it is secure, ensure it is in good condition and free of damage, and then check for clogs. If there are any cracks or leaking around the hose where it attaches to the dryer, you will either need to purchase a new one or cut the end off and re-clamp it.

Fill Hose – The next thing you should do is make sure that the fill hoses are in good condition and are still securely in place, but not over-tightened. The rubber washer used to attach the hose could also be the culprit, so you should ensure a new washer is used every time the fill hose is removed.

Water-Inlet Valve – Rust or mineral deposits can build up on the water-inlet valve, causing it to leak. Check to make sure the valve is in good condition, or if it is damaged and needs to be replaced.

Door Seal – If the washer is a front-loading machine, you may have an issue with the seal around the door. Buildup can collect in the door seal, preventing it from shutting completely. Carefully clean the seal and see if that corrects the problem.
