Spill/leak

[Matt9320]

My washing machine is leaking part way through the cycle. I have checked drainage pipe and pump, no evidence of damage or that the leak is coming from there. I have just listened to the machine and the leak happened part way through cycle and almost sounded like a bucket/bath overflowing because it was sloshing. What could the cause of leak be?

Unfortunately when it comes to leaks the only way to diagnose them is to physically observe where the water is coming from. Or at the very least, disconnect the washing machine from the mains and carefully examine all parts looking for holes, unseated seals and hoses, and water and soap marks. Start by carefully examining the door seal all the way around inside, looking for any holes. If it only leaks partway through the cycle the hole would most likely be slightly higher up, as any hole in the bottom would leak instantly.

I have inspected the machine and think we have 2 leaks. One is the drain pump which is an easy swap. The other I can’t find the source of. I checked and cleaned all hoses yesterday ensured seals were tight. I’ve attached a video (upside down video as I had to lean over machine whilst it was connected to see source) there is a drip at approx 7 seconds into video which I can’t find the source of

Hi there. I can't tell properly from the video, especially as it's moving about so much, but I can't see any evidence that the pump is leaking. A leaking pump usually leaves a lot of dried soap detergent at the leaking point. I can see what looks like a bit of rust on the top of the pump, but that could very easily be coming from something dripping onto it. It doesn't look like the kind of place that pump normally leaks from. Unfortunately, it's impossible to even guess where a leak will be dripping from. There are dozens of places a washing machine can leak from.

The only thing I could add is that if water is dripping onto something, then it must either be dripping from directly above, which should be easy to identify, or dripping onto something else, and then running down it and dripping off a secondary place. In the 2nd scenario it is normal for the water to leave some form of trace that can be seen. Leaking from the actual tub, or a hose connected to the tub will use the soap powder trail is because the water is usually soapy. But if it's totally clean water that is coming out then you can usually rule out many places and it must be leaking from something before it gets into the drum because once it gets into the drum it gets very soapy and any water leaking will leave dried soap trails.
