Abstract: Water leakage detection is provided. One or more water sensing devices are placed at different locations with respect to a laundry treatment appliance. A computing device is in communication with the one or more water sensing devices. The computing device is programmed to receive sensor data from the one or more water sensing devices. Responsive to the sensor data indicating a leak, the computing device performs one or more corrective actions to address the leak.

Abstract: A water sensing device for a water leakage detection system of a laundry appliance, may include a sensing strap configured to selectively attach to a part of a laundry appliance, the sensing strap configured to detect moisture; and a sensing component attached to the sensing strap and including at least two contacts in contact with the sensing strap and configured to detect moisture from the sensing strap, and a processor configured to, in response to the contacts detecting moisture from the sensing strap, instruct transmission of the moisture detection to a mobile device to provide an alert for detected moisture.
