Front mount washing machine is leaking, where do I start?

[Redlyne_mr2]

As the topic says, I have a fairly severe leak in my front mount washing machine. Can anyone on here give me some ideas on how to fix or diag this? Everything is so tough to move around that I don't know where to start.

thanks!

I had a tear near the water drain on the rubber gasket at the front, bought some marine sealant and fixed it... Try taking the gasket out to investigate it, there's usually a locking ring holding it in place

Google "make/model leaking" and hope for the youtube video?

Samsung?

Try taking the top of the machine off first to see if you can find a visible leak.

I recently fixed an LG front load which had one of the water intake solenoids leaking because of a bad gasket.

Check the obvious issues first - eg. door seal full of gunk. You need to post specific washer model/make info.

Where's the water? Under the dishwasher or on the front seal?

They slide out pretty easy. 2 mounting screws at the top into the cabinet and take the bottom kick plate off with two other screws then it should shimmy out lifting at the front base. Make sure there's slack in the drain line as you do this.

But like revelations said, check door seal first. Then report back.

Washing machine for laundry, not dishes...
