Danby Washer leaking water
When your Danby washer is leaking, start by finding where the water appears and when it leaks. The most likely cause is a cracked or damaged drain pump, or worn pump bearings, which can make your washing machine leak from the bottom while draining. Because a leaking drain pump is not repairable, replace the pump. Next, inspect the washer's hoses, including the tub-to-pump hose, for cracks, loose connections, or other damage. A torn tub seal can also cause a washing machine leak and allow water to reach the tub bearings. If the tub seal is leaking, replace the tub seal and tub bearing kit together. This is a major repair that requires disassembling much of the washer. Also check that the dispenser drawer is fully closed and not cracked. On a front-load Danby washer, using the wrong detergent or too much detergent can create excessive suds that escape through the overflow system and cause washer leaking. Enter your model number to find the exact drain pump, hose, tub seal, bearing kit, or dispenser drawer for your specific Danby washing machine.
01 - Danby Washing Machine Drain Pump
The drain pump pumps water out the drain hose. If the drain pump is cracked or damaged, or if the bearings are worn out, the drain pump may leak water. The drain pump is not repairable—if the pump is leaking water, replace it.

02 - Danby Washing Machine Hose
Hoses apart from the fill hose or drain hose could be reponsible for a leaking washer. You should inspect all of the appliance's hoses, such as tub-to-pump hoses, for damage or loose connections and replace if necessary.

03 - Danby Washing Machine Tub Seal and Bearing Kit
The tub seal might be torn, causing water to leak from the seal. If the tub seal is leaking water, water may leak through the tub seal and into the tub bearings. This can cause the bearings to fail. For this reason, if the tub seal is leaking water, replace both the tub seal and the tub bearings. Be aware that this is a complicated repair and will require disassembling most of the washer.

05 - Danby Washing Machine Dispenser Drawer
If a washer is leaking water, you should confirm the dispenser drawer is completely closed and free of damage. If the drawer is cracked, the component could be responsible for the leak and should be replaced.

06 - Wrong type or incorrect amount of detergent
If you have a front-load washer, be certain that you are using an HE - high efficiency - detergent. HE detergent is formulated to be low-sudsing and to be used with the lower water levels utilized by front-load washers. Front-load washers have a small overflow system usually on the back of the appliance. If you have too many suds, they are probably escaping from there.
