Why water leaks from a washer dispenser
Inside the washer, behind the dispenser, there’s a mixing cone where water and detergent flow into the tub.
When this cone gets clogged with residue or detergent buildup, water can no longer drain properly. It starts backing up in the hose, can leak back toward the dispenser, and eventually drip outside.
If you see this kind of leak, the issue is often in that cone—it needs cleaning or replacement.
