Washing machine leaks when spinning, water comes out the bottom left though have checked machine -?

internally, it is all bone dry, all the hoses, soap dispenser, waste hose etc are all fine, as is the door seal. Where is the water coming from? I have heard it may be from the seal inside the machine on the door or the pump, however surely they would show evidence of water/damp??

Since you're talking about a door seal, I'm assuming you have a front-load washer. There are a few places that I typically find leaks on front load washers:





All models:


You can sometimes get a tear in the door seal. Check all around the seal with a flashlight.


The rear bearing/seal may be going out. This is a large repair. Try to get a look at the back of the machine where the big drive pulley is located.


Check for a crack in the tub (shell). Especially if it has been making a lot of noise lately. This is another large repair.





Frigidaire (Kenmore model 417.... )


Occationally the bolts holding the two pieces of the tub (shell) will start to come loose. Generally it will only leak during the high speed spin. Just tighten all of the bolts (3/8';) and your back in business.





Hope one of these helps.Washing machine leaks when spinning, water comes out the bottom left though have checked machine -?
Same thing happened with mine - one of my babies socks stuck in filter. Easy job - or looked easy - my mate done it in 5 minutes
left hand side is usually the soap draw could be water trapped around the soap draw take the soap draw out and give it a clean and the check the space where the soap draw fits and clean that out it could be as simple as that
It is usually splashing over in teh soap dispenser, take the dispenser out and give it a wash.
Your door seal has a hole in it and is only coming out when the pressure builds in the spinning.





Get the plumber or if on an insurance get it repaired.
That happened to me. I called in a plumber he unplugged the washing machine and took of the top and what it was, their is a hose connected to the drum and it had come of what he done was to push it back in. this sometimes happens because of the spinning and vibration. just a suggestion could be wrong good luck.
Bad water pump 98% of time..Unless it is a GE then you at a Bad tranny
Have a good feel around the door seal, not on the outside, but between the door and the drum, the chances are you will find a small hole or tear in it. Depending on the make and model the cost varies, but if that the problem, well worth getting repaired.
have you tried opening the little door at the bottom right hand side of the washer inside is what looks like a control knob about 1 3/4'; dia unscrew that take out the filter clean it and put it back then try the spinner good luck
This can happen when you have a sock stuck in the pump and the water can't get through.
Could just be that the tub gets off balance while it's spinning. Try re-distributing the clothes a little more evenly and see if that helps. If not, you might need to have a plumber come and check it out.
look at the back of the drum at the top there may be a hole where a rubber grommet should be this would be indicated by the fact water only leaks on spin cycle as water is only thrown that high whilst spinning
