So, I could use a little help diagnosing an issue with the clothes washing machine. It's a Front-loading Kenmore He5T, bought around 2009.
The drum drains well, clothing comes out as dry as it should after a spin/drain cycle. No issues there. (see thumbs up picture).
But inside the front seal, there is water that is not draining. That area is supposed to be dry. Previously if this issue occurred (and it has), I have run a bleach-only cleaning cycle, and everything is good.
I have checked the pump filter / sock trap / lint trap and that is clean as a whistle. That has had no effect.
Suggestions?
