- Suds visible under machine
- Cycle stops unexpectedly

Common Causes
Black drain hose between tub and pump cracks at the clamp.
Front-load gasket tears at the 6 o'clock position from coins/wires.
Loss of air column gives a false low-level reading.
Vibration loosens factory clamps over time.
Less common — usually from a foreign object impact.
How to Fix It

- Inspect under the machine with a flashlight for active drips and trace upward.
