Hi there guys, I'd be grateful for some ideas as to what I can do about this. The washing machine is about 2 years old and earlier had a flood on the floor. I wasn't in the room when it happened and returned to the machine towards the end of the wash cycle.
I looked on the web for ideas and gleaned that it is important to see where the leak is coming from.
I inspected the soap tray and it looks a lot cleaner than it did last time I looked, when there was a fair amount of old soap powder.
I took the rear panel off and squeezed the hose that takes the water outflow and that seemed to be clear.
I turned the water pressure down a little.
I put another load in and watched. Within seconds literally one or two as it started to fill water came out of the soap tray, quite quickly.
I switched the machine off and here I am.

Thanks for any help in advance

Yeeeeeeeha, sorted

There is in the front left hand side a drainage channel. What wasn't obvious to start was that it was blocked by the thin membranes from the Bold 2 in 1 liquid balls.

I hope this helps someone else
