Leaking water? Confirm that fill hoses are tightened properly with no kinks. Make sure the door seal is clean. Drain pump filter may need cleaning.
Noisy operation? Normal sounds include humming, whirring and swooshing. But loud banging could indicate an unbalanced load. Squeaking suggests the need for belt or motor servicing.
