I got a leak in the filling cycle and I can't find the source of the leak. I checked all the hoses and pipes that I can reach and they are dry. The leak is on the right side of the machine roughly underneath the dispenser. Has anyone experienced a leak like this.

Samsung J1045 leaks during fill from dispenser area

The problem
A Samsung J1045 washing machine was reported to leak only during the filling cycle, with water appearing on the right-hand side roughly underneath the soap dispenser. The user had checked the accessible hoses and pipes and found them dry.
Likely cause
The strongest supported diagnosis is a leak from one of the fill hoses in the dispenser area or from the soap dispenser itself.
What fixed it
The accepted advice was that, because the leak happens only while filling and is located under the soap dispenser, the source is most likely the fill hoses feeding the dispenser or the dispenser assembly itself. The exact repair was not confirmed in the discussion.
Checks to try
  • User checked accessible hoses and pipes and found them dry
  • Leak occurs during the filling cycle only
  • Water appears on the right-hand side underneath the dispenser area

Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.
