Our Whirlpool Duet GHW9150PWO has worked great for the past 5-6 years but recently has developed a leak when set for Delicate. It is fine on Normal. Strange but troubling!
Appears to have been the drain holes below the rubber drum flange. My wife cleaned in there for the first time after our speaking to a lowes sales person who owns one as well. When I monitored the next "delicate" load with the front panel off and after cleaning, there was no sign of water anywhere. Hope this was the solution. My wife also mentioned the loads (on delicate) came out damper than the norm but this time it was much drier. Wonder if delicate cycle may fill the washer higher than the normal cycle.
As a footnote we mentioned an occasional musty smell would occur and the same sales person said to not only leave the front door ajar but also open the soap drawer. When I checked the service manual I noticed the unit has a vent hose which vents into the soap drawer. All makes sense when you consider a front load is much tighter sealed than a top load.
