water around washing machine

[noplumber]

Recently I installed a washing machine in the basement. Three days later I went downstairs and there's a layer of water distinctly around the washing machine. I haven't used it yet. Any ideas on what it could be and how to fix it? I can check the water hose but is there anything else I should check?

Its leaking.

We could speculate all day with the little information here, so why not check the obvious first, probably find thats your problem.....

If you haven't used it, but already plumbed it in, it sounds like one of the two supply hoses is leaking.
