WTW8240YW0 - Marks her territory

[kavadon]

Hi all,

Hopefully a quick question. Working on sister's Whirlpool Cabrio WTW8240YW0. It's started leaking during the later stages of wash cycle. I can't see water coming from anywhere obvious with the back off, however puddle is forming on the floor. It's on the left side of the cabinet if you are facing front - right side when I am seeing it with back off and facing back side.

I've already replaced the bleach dispenser tray with the new model, so not sure what else to approach. Anyone seen this before? 

Thanks.

Also meant to state that according to her, the size of the load makes a direct difference on how large the puddle is that appears under the washer, so not sure if this is overspill or sloshing going on.

Thanks again if anyone has any input.

Tilt machine back and see if the rotor has rust stains in it indicating that it is leaking at the tub seals. They will leak more with larger loads.

Replaced many of these for the same problem, never found it broken but after replacing it stopped leaking.

Look for a crack in the impeller housing of the drain pump too... better yet, feel for it because they are hard to see sometimes. Search the machine for residue to tip you off as to where the water is coming from, there is almost always white, calcium / lime trails if it has been happening for any length of time.
