BOSCH WASHING EXCEL 7 MACHINE LEAKING AT THE FRONT

haydan · 22 Dec 2012

Hi
My washing machine is leaking at the front of the machine on the right hand side . It is only a little puddle. i emptied the filter at the bottom of the left hand side and there was nothing in there. it appears to be only coming form the front of the machine as i cant see any coming from underneath. the puddle seems to be forming by the right front leg. i cannot really access the machine unless i pul the whole thing out which will be tricky.
any ideas before i call someone out
any help appreciated
many thanks

Difficult to say where it is leaking. Check the door seal isn't damaged or holed. Make sure the filter seal is in order & the filter is screwed in tight. Water can leak one place yet appear in another via internal edges & channels in the frame. If the door seal & filter are good there could be a pin hole in the sump or waste hose.

thanks for your reply.
i just checked the door seal and it appears dry so i dont think it is that. i just looked at the manual and cleaned the filter and drain hose at the bottom and nothing there .

Did you inspect the door seal for a pin hole or small tear in the sealing area? It doesn't take much....

Hi,
take your detergent draw out, give it a really good scrub. Build up from liquid detergent and conditioner can can cause blockages and cause a minor leak.
