Leaking washing machine?

Question

My washing machine has just started to leak at the door and the draw?i assume i need a new seal for the door but not sure why the draw is also leaking. Any help would be great

Answer 1

tellygon... isn’t right. The drawer is an inlet and for a blocked drain pipe to cause this, it would have to fill the machine first.

If you feel up to it disconnect from the mains. Remove the top and take a look at where the water is running and see if you can track it back to its source.

It is possible that the source of the leak is the drawer and it is also finding its way to the door and exiting there. Maybe a cracked drawer, maybe a leaking inlet pipe. Possibly a leaking inlet valve. Sounds more like the pipe connecting the drawer to the drum may be leaking. Then it could conceivably be leaking forward through the drawer and also running down the pipe to the drum and around to the drawer.

Of course you may be looking at two leaks, one at the drawer and one at the door. Doors will leak with a perfectly good seal if the back of the door or the front of the seal is dirty. I don’t mean dirty as in ‘filthy’ but a wipe around the door and the seal after each wash is recommended.

Answer 2

drawer?? one of two things!! drawer is broke and leakin or water is backing up to the drwaer due to blockage in pipe going outside to drain!!  

Answer 3

Tellygon is probably right about the drawer. Try cleaning the glass door well where it contacts the rubber seal. A very small amount of dirt will cause a leak.
