Washing Machine Leaks...
We have a Front Loading Fridigaire , Round Door... It has starting leaking at the bottom area of the door. You can press on the top area and a little give , press on the bottom area and it seems to be a bit more give.. There is no tears or cracks in the rubber that goes around the inside of the door... Any ideas what is causing the leak? Thanks

I would check the locking mechanism that actually latches the door. It could be that the door isn't actually sealing because something is keeping it from shutting as far as it should.

You may need to adjust the locking mechanism. |

I downloaded the manual, other than a step by step with pictures to dismantle the washer.. I checked the Trouble Shooting section and for leaks they indicated the source being at the main tap where the washing machine hose is hooked up... Not leaning towards leaks coming from the washing machine door..?. Thanks by the way the Lock is adjusted about as much as can be... Thanks

I know it's too late to tell you this, but front-loading washers are nothing but trouble and I am able to fix them, sometimes. One common problem is mismatched metals used which cause the washers parts to become a battery. They use aluminum and stainless in the same machine, causing the aluminum to corrode quickly from galvanic action. You probably will need a new set of door gaskets, but get rid of it when you can.

This shows why you have a lemon. |
