Water leaking out slightly from detergent dispenser draw and is starting to rust down left hand front side of machine,checked all water supply and drain hoses but leak appears to be coming from high up around plastic draw during fill stage. Model is Whirlpool AWM 293-600 Front Loader.Thanks.

There are 2 solutions for this problem, the easiest solution is to turn the tap that supplies the water to the machine down so that it stops leaking, the second option is replacing the dispenser drawer housing, The housings warp slightly over time and allow water to leak out at higher pressures.

Usually a sign that you are using too much detergent. Pull the drawer out completely and clean it out. The drawer and the casing

give the draw a good clean by pulling it out, and check the level of the machine

My Miele 828 dishwasher started to leak at the front left corner. The leak became worse. I tipped the machine on its side and removed the rubber moulding connecting the base of the drum to the pump. I cleaned it out and refitted it finding two small coins inside. The leak persisted. I took off the top of the machine by unscrewing the two screws on either side and pushing the lid backwards. I switched the machine on and, with a torch could see that the detergent dispenser had detached from the delivery pipe under it. Using advice elsewhere on Fixya I undid the three bolts around the door and the three screws around the detergent dispenser; one is deeply recessed and easily missed. Than I unclipped the drain pipe behind the little door at the bottom left hand corner at the front. The front then hinges out from the left with hinges at the right side making the leaking connection easily accessible. Make sure you get the rubber flange well up the plastic tube as there is no flange on the tube to secure it. A possible design fault but the unit has functioned for ten years before the connection failed.

the water pressure is to high turn the tap down and wind the front feet right up. very common the water comes in to fast and splashes over the tray & down the front panel that will rust. replaced over 100 front panels still under warranty due to this problem.

When the machine starts to wash water passes into the detergent dispenser and carries the detergent into the drum, if the detergent outlet is blocked, or resticted, this will cause the water to leak out of the dispenser.

Check the dispenser to see if an accumulated crust of powder is clogging the outlet holes, most dispensers are removable for cleaning, check your machine instructions for details.

Press and hold "end of cycle" button for 3 seconds, on the right side of panel. This is the child lock feature, do it again & it locks.

If helped, pl rate me good!!

spash over...its made to channel water down open or close...if your getting water down the front i would check,,the bellows,,or gasket..that big rubber tube between the front panel and the tub,,for a leak ,hole tear...over suddsing will alse make a leak ..make sure your using he/low suddsing detergent

Could be pressure too high reduce feed to machine only ....Slightly...Also try cleaning just in case its blocked

ck inlet just inside door upper left could be blockage in line from dispenser into tub especially if you have been using dry detergent remove detergent drawer and ck for blockage from that end too
