As soon as machine is switched on, water pours from inside onto floor. Checked all external pipes are connected fine. Cleaned filters. Seems to be between the inlet pipe connection and the drum at the top of the machine. Pipe or pump come loose inside? Worked perfectly when used yesterday, then like this when tried to use today. Any ideas before I bite the bullet and call an engineer out?

Managed to fix it!

Felt confident as to which area the leak was in so thought what the hell and took the top cover off to have a look. The soft rubber flex pipe was half off where it connected to the powder inlet tray to carry the water to the drum. Put it back on and taped it up as terrible design that its not got a stronger connection anyways as the vibrations from the spin cycle gently pull at the pipe so this must be quite a common occurence on this model.
 
No other posts about this so it's not that common an occurrence.
The pipe should be quite a tight fit, if it's not then it may well pull off again.
If the machine was badly unbalanced during a spin then that may account for the pipe being pulled off.
