If you have a leaking FRONT LOADER, you will need to remove the lower toe panel under the door and inspect the washer interior cabinet to sufficiently determine where the source of the leak may be coming from. The following link explains how to access and inspect your washer for leaks:

In the majority of the cases with front loaders, the door bellow begins to leak. A routine inspection of the seal perimeter will tell you if there are any rips or tears. If the bellow is damaged, it must be replaced. The following link explains how:

Make sure you throughly check all drain hoses, hose connections, the pump seal and the dispenser hose(s) that penetrate the door bellow.

These problems can easily be repaired without the assistance of a repairman. If you have any questions, please post back and let me know. I hope this helps you.

Check the Vibration damper rods to be sure that...
1. They are there and mount is solid.
2. If they are broken in 1/2.
3. The plastic knuckle mounts are not missing/broken.
4. There is oil in the shock absorber/spring section of the rods.

Also - there are suspension springs on the bottom of the tub that could be broken and/or missing.

Replace/repair as necessary.

Thanks for using FixYa - a 4 THUMBS rating is appreciated for answering your FREE question.

there are two water valves above the soap drawer, that are sping loaded to stay shut when power is off. if the water pressure to the machine has increased, sat due to an increase in main pressure from the water board fixing a leek further up the supply, then this could force open the valves. try turning the stop valves at the inlet pipe end, away from the machine, down a quarter turn and see if this stops it.

Here's the steps....getting some pics for you....hang on a minute or two.

4. Lubricate lip of NEW inner seal and press seal into knuckle.
5. Install preload spacer into bore.

9. Install NEW inner seal.
10. Install knuckle assembly.

i believe your oil filter is on that side. try wipeing that area down to pinpoint where its leeking. if it is the oil filter just tighten it up a half turn unless its really leeking then pull it off and see if the seal is still on the filter.

spray with penetrating oil and let sit. hit with a big hammer. if it still will not come loose remove knuckle and use a press to remove bearing.

If your machine is a front loader it could be leaking from the door if the gasket is not properly on. If its a top loader then it could be overfilling due to a faulty water level control pressure switch. Need yo know which it is.

Eh?

Your PC case loader has a front knuckle?

Please could you describe this problem in a bit more detail, include a photo if possible, I'd like to see this.
