Thanks.
It occurs to me then that it may be a combination of a restricting blockage in the waste pipe, and the tortuous route that it takes to the drain. I won't be able to check until the weekend though.
thanks again

Hi,
I pulled the machine right out and ran a full cycle. Water briefly leaks out from the front lower corners of the door, both during the soapy phase and the rinse. There isn't a huge volume of water though. When I opened the door, I got the impression that there was slightly too much water in the machine, and it was just about spilling over the top of the inner lip. I checked for correct horizontal level.
I took the front valance off to give a better view, and ran it again with the same result; the water just seems to be leaking out of the front bottom corners.
I guess it may be the door seals, or is there a depth sensor which may be faulty.
Drain hose was clean and clear.
Sorry a bit waffly, but I hope it explains everything.

Check the ring nut at the back of the tub , it's wot the top basket clicks onto. Also adjust front feet so it tilts back also check spray arms poss split at the sides. And don't use 3 in 1 and rinse aid and salt. It causes over foaming
Hi,
I checked the upper spray bar. It wasn't split, but it did have a piece of black rubber in it, which appears to be part of the rubber seal in the ring nut at the back of the tub. There is no resistance when the upper basket is pushed into the ring nut assembly.
So would I be right in guessing that the water is just falling into the tub instead of passing fully into the spray bar?
