Hello all...
I have been searching the archives for a similar problem but haven't found one yet so I figured I would throw this one out to everyone.
My front-loader leaks when it fills for the rinsing cycle. I have the bottom panel off and can look in and see water coming from plastic line that feeds the water into the washer drum right behind the hinge for the front door. It looks like the plastic part is coming from the detergent drawer but I can't get a clear look at it without taking the entire front off of the machine. Any ideas here? I can't find that plastic part in any diagrams I have found either.
Thanks in advance. Jim

Thank you for the manual! I still didn't see the offending item pictured there, but I was able to look deeper into the machine by using the manual. It looks to be the Siphon Trap that is leaking but it seems to be leaking from a hole in the top of the siphon... probably an air inlet. Not sure if I have a blockage somewhere downstream that is keeping the water from flowing through fast enough but will look into that. In the meantime, I attached a small piece of tubing to the air hole to act as a snorkel to still let air but not let the water out.
Thanks again.
