Guys, I'm baffled. We have an older front loading Frigidaire washing machine. Haven't had any issues. Today while in basement I noticed a good deal of water under the washer and dryer. I mopped it up and in a five gallon bucket maybe had 2 inches of clear water, not soapy...checked the hoses, connections, waste water hose etc... All were dry. I then set it do to do an empty quick wash. And no water on ground. I'm baffled.
BBI knows everything. Someone have an idea for a clueless appliance guy like me?
Good idea to check and empty/clean that thing 1x per month or so, issues or not.
Have kids/pets? 2 inches in a 5 gal bucket isn't much, maybe one was marking their territory?
Run a box fan to dry everything off even after it appears dry.
Pull the washer out look behind it. Look at the wall.
Put some diapers down. Either paper towels or newspaper single sheets. See when and where they get wet. They will be your indicator.
Hopefully you already have metal jacketed hoses on your washer.
If you're nervous, buy a water frog. $10 battery operated put it on the floor if it gets wet it will scream at you.

There is a filter on the waste water line, accessible by a panel in the front. That could be clogged up.

Right on guys. Thanks!
