To sufficiently inspect your washer to determine where to leak may be coming from, please review the following link:

http://www.fixya.com/support/r3576656-washer_leak__front_loader

If there is a huge gush of water coming from the washer as soon as you begin the fill cycle, this is commonly caused by a small air hose on the side of the washer drum that connects to the pressure switch. If this air hose comes loose,the water will pour from the wash tub as it begins to fill. This is an easy fix, if that is the only problem.

Another cause, can be a water inlet valve that is leaking by, or a pressure switch that does not keep the water supply shut off when not in use. This will cause the tub to fill up and spill over. The following link explains how to check for this as well:

Read through the information provided and let me know if you are having problems determining the cause of your problem. Please post back with your MODEL NUMBER so that I may be able to accurately determine how your washer is configured. I hope you find this information helpful.

Excessive amount of water accumulating in bottom

By the reservoir, I have made the assumption that you mean the pump filter behind the kickplate flap (bottom right). Even when the unit is working correctly it is quite likely that you will get a couple of jugs of water here. If the machine is spinning effectively, there is no issue. If not then you may need to check the outlet pump flow when disconnected from the plumbing (fill the machine, switch dial to drain and pump into a bucket) the flow should be quite fast but not as fast as say a cold tap on full. If the flow is good, check your plumbing. If the flow is poor you may want to run through a descaler or at the very least a 90 degree cycle and tested again.
Hope this helps

Whirlpool HFW95HEXW. During the Clean Washer cycle, water trickles down the front of the washer and pools in the pedestal drawer. The amount of water is small, but this happens during every Clean Washer...

YOUR WATER MAY BE OVERFLOWING A BIT AT THE TOP, JUST UNDER THE MACHINE'S COVER.

A SENIOR LADY FRIEND HAD SIMILAR SITUATION

WE TILTED UP THE TOP ON HER AUTOMATIC WASHER AND DISCOVERED THERE WAS A LARGE BUILD UP OF LIME, LINT , OLDE SOAP AND SOFTENER .

WATER GOING INTO THESE AUTOMATIC WASHING MACHINE IS OPEN TO THE AIR AND NOT CLOSED IN.

THIS HARDENED MESS WAS INTERFERING THE WATER FLOW, CAUSING SOME WATER TO RUN DOWN ONTO THE FLOOR.

Afront load washer leaks around soap dispenser

we had this problem with our washer (samsung wf316bac) for a while. 2 service calls did nothing to fix it. Washer is level, use correct soap and amount, etc. etc. I had to turn down the hot and cold water faucets to fix the problem. It worked. I think there is a siphon problem with the soap dispenser design... On a very large load we now get the 'nf' (no flow) message and have to start the washer again. Beats water on the floor... Samsung denies having any problem but you will find this all over the interent. hope this helps...

Continuous water - water don't shut off

If the taps need to be shut off to stop water flow then the fill valve(what the hoses are connected to) needs to be changed . More then likely someone removed the screens because of poor water flow.

My whirlpool cabrio doesn't go into the wash cycle it just put the water in and won't stop.

if the unit is not over flowing onto the floor then you need to stop or pause the machine lift the drain hose up to the level of the control panel you should here water drain out of the hose make sure not to l pull it out of the wall.once the water has stopped draining restart the machine and it should fill to the proper level and start the cycle.
if the machine is over flowing the you need to reset or replace the pressure switch that detects the amount of water in the machine

Periodic water leaking from Kenmore Elite K701

hello Adrian. I am suspicious that the standing drain pipe behind your machine may sometimes over flow. To find out, pack some dry newspaper around the drain hose where it enters the drain line behind the machine. If that newspaper gets wet you will know that the drain is sometimes overflowing. If that is the case, snake that drain or force a garden hose down it and run hot water thru it for ten minutes. J.

How to drain water from the machine that stopped working

Use a siphon. Use a piece of garden hose long enough to reach from the bottom of the tub to the floor. Push the hose into the full tub so that the hose fills with water. Pinch one end closed and pull it into a bucket on the floor. Let go the pinch and water will flow into the bucket. Ensure that the other end of the hose stays submerged, and that the bucket is large enough to hold the tub contents.

When washer goes to spin cycle it doesnt drain water

Remove the hose from the drain and lower the hose to a floor drain or a large bucket. If water flows, there is a failure with the pump. If no water flows there is an obstruction, such as a sock lodged in the drain path from tub to pump. Either condition will require some disassembly to repair.
