Indesit Washinge Machine Fault Causing Leaking

This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.

Indesit washing machine leak from worn dispenser-to-drum hose

The problem

The washing machine was leaking because the dispenser-to-drum hose was resting on the inner flange corner and had worn through, creating a hole. The concern was that replacing the hose alone would only lead to the same failure again.

Likely cause

The accepted reply agreed this was probably a design fault. It reported having seen Indesit fill hoses repeatedly strike the drum during spinning, causing noise and wear.

What fixed it

The discussion supports replacing the damaged hose as the immediate remedy, but also indicates the underlying routing/design issue may cause recurrence. No permanent repair or modification was documented. Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

Checks to try

• Observed leak source at the dispenser-to-drum hose
• Found the hose had worn a hole where it rested on the inner flange corner
• Accepted reply noted similar hoses banging on the drum during spin and wearing through
