Whirlpool washing machine leaks water only at fill what could be the cause?

There are a few potential causes for a Whirlpool washing machine to leak water only at fill:

1. Faulty inlet valve: The inlet valve is responsible for controlling the flow of water into the washing machine. If it is faulty, it can cause water to leak from the machine even when it is not in use. To check if the inlet valve is faulty, turn off the water supply to the washing machine and then try to fill it. If water continues to leak, the inlet valve is likely faulty and needs to be replaced.

2. Damaged fill hose: The fill hose is the hose that connects the water supply to the washing machine. If it is damaged, it can cause water to leak from the machine. To check if the fill hose is damaged, inspect it for cracks or tears. If you find any damage, the fill hose needs to be replaced.

3. Faulty water level sensor: The water level sensor is responsible for detecting the amount of water in the washing machine and determining when to stop filling. If it is faulty, it can cause the machine to overflow. To check if the water level sensor is faulty, disconnect the hoses from the water level sensor and blow into one of the ports. If you hear a clicking sound, the water level sensor is working properly. If you do not hear a clicking sound, the water level sensor is likely faulty and needs to be replaced.

4. Clogged drain hose: If the drain hose is clogged, it can cause water to back up and leak from the machine. To check if the drain hose is clogged, disconnect it from the washing machine and flush it with water. If the water does not flow freely, the drain hose is clogged and needs to be cleaned or replaced.
