Scene note

Record whether the change begins during hot or cold fill, wash movement, pump-out, or idle time. Stop the cycle if continued operation could add water.

First five minutes

Put these five details on the same page

Each note narrows the conversation without pretending to reveal a concealed cause.

Supply hoses

View exposed couplings and hose surfaces without pulling the washer forward.

Fill selection

Distinguish hot, cold, and mixed settings before water first appears.

Machine body

Keep door, cabinet, and internal appliance symptoms in a separate lane.

Pump-out

Record standpipe rise, gurgle, or floor water during discharge.

Floor path

Trace the visible edge beyond the appliance without stepping into wet electrical risk.
