Been dealing with a leak and discovered $5.33 in change, a broken pen case, a rivot, and a toothpick in the drain pump. Replaced door bellows a couple months ago and worked for a while. I never realized there is a filter in the drain pump until i seen a video for it but this video adds more trouble shooting techniques. thank you for sharing this great information. Now on to the filter and hose checks.

You can add "Split on the th drain hose near the drain pump" to the list. It will leak not quite as fast as the water fills (a lot) when a cycle begins. I found this out on ours. I just found the split as I was checking the things that you recommended. Thanks, Great video!

A small black rubber tube near the bottom and just inside the rear access panel came detached from whatever it was supposed to be attached to ( I am not certain what it was) on our LG frontload washing machine and flooded our laundry room, hall, kitchen, and basement. Yes, one small detached rubber tube caused all of that. I did not find any clamp, so I reattached the tube (to whatever it is) and taped it for extra security.

Mine leaks during the rinse cycle only on my Maytag 2000 series front loading washing machine, but only from the center of the top of the bottom panel. It starts 10 minutes into the rapid wash cycle, so when the washing machine shows 18 minutes left of the rapid wash cycle and continues leaking until there are 14 minutes left of the cycle, then stops. It leaks enough to soak 3/4 of a bath towel that is under the bottom panel to catch it. Any ideas? Thank you for your wealth of knowledge.

I would take the top off and inspect the hoses going to the dispenser. During the rinse cycle water is also being diverted to the fabric softener section of the housing. That could be why only seeing it during the rinse.

Mine is leaking either at the front or middle of the washers left side(looking at it) ( or the floor COULD be slanted and its acctualy the back but i doubt it) Im betting either something is stuck in the softener adding place hoe (which is likely BUT the washer start usualy leaking from the very begining of the wash( and im assuming softener is added only from the middle ti the end of cycle and so the water gets there) so unsure. Lemme come back tomorow or tuesday and update what i discovered after taking off the front ( cause right now i gotta wash them clothes 😂) Fyi its not leaking A LOT. Id say a 1/4 of a glass of water, mostly at the beginning of the cycle. I've been know to sometimes most likely overload the machine so i hope its not the center damage.
