How to fix water leakage around loading door in Dexter Laundry WCAD Washer?
- C
  Christine JohnsonAug 31, 2025
  If you notice water leaking around the loading door of your Dexter Laundry Washer, consider these solutions: * **Door Adjustment:** The door may need adjustment due to wear or abuse. Check the tightness around the perimeter using a dollar bill. Adjust left to right tightness using shims at the door lock or hinge side. Center the gasket to the tub opening before tightening the door to hinge bolts. Chalk may help show the contact point with the tub front. If the gasket is deformed, worn, or damaged, replace it.

  If water enters your Dexter Laundry Washer but the level doesn't rise, examine these potential causes: * **Drain Valve:** Check for blockages, the drain valve motor and gear train functionality. If there is power but the drain valve doesn't close, replace the valve. Also, check for power to the drain valve and inspect the (brn/yel) circuit for power if none is present. * **Wiring:** Check the black and white wires at the Molex plug on the main PCB controller and at the main relay PCB.
