The Overflow Tube
If the washing machine fails to stop the incoming water when it reaches the selected level, water will leak through the overflow tube. This usually indicates a pressure switch problem, see below.
When the user uses too much detergent, the suds will leak through the overflow tube. After overflow you may see what looks like plain water on your floor; suds will usually disappear after a few minutes. On front loaders in particular, use High Efficiency detergent to reduce sudsing.
The Washer Holding Tank
Items that are left in the pockets of the clothing that you're washing, can cause holes in the holding tank.
Make sure that the person using the washing machine do not leave objects in the pockets of the laundry they are doing.
The Water Valve or Fill Hoses
Check the water valve body for cracks. If someone tries to move the washing machine by grabbing it by the water valve, this could cause the water valve to crack.
Make sure to check for pinholes in the two fill hoses.
