Leaks on washers are sometimes hard to find, so i'll tell you the two most common causes of washer leaks ive come across :
(1) DOOR SEALS these rubber seals don't last forever and if you use hard water to wash or heavy chlorinated they go fast , if you can pinch the rubber (hard) with your fingers and it doesn't relax back to normal in two seconds or less then yes its bad
(2) PUMP SEALS the water pumps are usually located in center of bottom of washer with a strong flashlight you see water dripping from center of unit (bottom) then chances are you have a bad pump seal
also i have found that using the new detergent packs of some brands cause pump seals to go as the plastic packs don't dissolve completely and get wrapped around pump shaft
The door seal seems nice and soft to us, and the water is appearing towards the front. I think it must be something different, because it def is during the drying cycle; the water that appears is NOT soapy.
Is there some special hose or filter or something that only comes into play when drying?
Thanks
no the only thing that comes into play when drying is air flow and the drain valve is opened , there is a hose typically on the drain valve and yes most times there on the front , since it doesn't leak in first half of cycle , id look real careful with a light at hose after it leaves drain valve during this dry cycle
