I have an LG front loading washer, model WM2487HRM, when I run the washer, every minute or so, a drop of water comes down the front through the bottom of the door. Does this mean a seal is bad or can the door be adjusted, or is there something more serious? Thanks in advance.
Generally, this happens when the washer was pushed back into place by applying force to the front of the machine, thus pushing the front panel in just slightly. Sometimes you can fix this by just moving the location of the spring of the front gasket clamp from the bottom center to the left side hinge area. They actually make a special tool for expanding the spring, but you can manage without the special tool. Other times you may have to pull the front panel a out a bit or possibly replace the gray gasket / seal.
First, move the location of the spring on the clamp from the center bottom of the door opening to the hinge area on the left. Many times that is enough to solve this problem. If that does not do it, take the clamp off, remove the tub seal from the front door opening, grab inside the opening at the bottom and give it a firm pull. (not too much, you don't want to over do it) Re-attach the spring clamp with spring to the hinge side. Test. If still leaking, replace gray tub gasket. Hope this turns into a FixYa for you. PS. If this is less than a year old you could call for warranty service on it.
Thanks for the FixYa. Let me know if any more questions.
