Nowadays, in house design, washing machines are usually installed on balconies, and many households use fully automatic washing machines with high pressure on the faucet. Assuming there is a leak, it is easy to cause the faucet to burst due to pressure issues. Today, the editor will teach us how to deal with the problem of water leakage in washing machine faucets.

01

Doubts about the sealing tape of the faucet. The faucet of the washing machine is leaking water, and the general question is that some of the sealing tapes (fixing screws) that secure the faucet are damaged. In this situation, simply use a pliers to remove the faucet and roll a new waterproof tape from the head in the area where the screws are fixed.

02

There is a question about the wear of the axial gasket inside the faucet. Assuming the faucet is tightly fastened, the reason for the leakage may still be due to water leakage at the outlet, usually caused by wear and tear on the axial gasket inside the faucet. In this case, pliers can be used to loosen and remove the pressure cap bolt, and the axial gasket can be removed with a clamp and replaced with a new axial gasket.

03

There is a question about the wear of the triangular sealing gasket inside the gland. Perhaps the wear of the triangular sealing gasket inside the gland caused water leakage in the lower gap of the faucet bolt. In this case, you can loosen the screw and remove the bolt head, then loosen the pressure cover and remove it. Then, take out the triangular sealing gasket on the inner side of the pressure cover and replace it with a new one.

04

Doubts about loose cap nuts. In addition, loose cap nuts may also cause water leakage at the receiving joint. You can tighten the cap nuts from the beginning or replace them with new U-shaped gaskets.

05

Assuming that the entire faucet still leaks. Some water leakage defects are not related to the faucet itself, perhaps due to improper equipment between the water hose and the faucet body. In addition, it may also be due to issues such as aging of the water supply hose for the faucet, unstable water pressure, or corrosion. Once the water supply hose cracks or bursts, the consequences can be very serious. Therefore, experts suggest checking or replacing the water supply hose every 1-2 years or so.
