Washing Machine Leakage

[sjn]

Water starts leaking from my IFB washing machine once I switch it ON. Not even a sigle drop of water goes to the drum instead the water leaks somewhere from the machine and the whole floor gets wet. I can hear the pouring sound but unable to figure out from where it is leaking. Please let me know what could be the reason. Thanks in advance.

I have some articles on how to trace a washing machine leak on my main washing machine faults page

What you describe sounds like either a hose has split or come off, or there's a big hole in the bottom of the drum.
