my washer is leaking out of the hose flood (overflow white pipe) during agitation when on the super wash setting. if i put it on another wash setting (large/etc.), it justs leaks a few drops out of the hose flood pipe. i did check and clear out the water pressure hose and its nipple connection. i think it is related to a pressure or water level switch. thanks for your help.
i have a ge profile wpre6100 gwt

Check to see if the basket is agitating with the agitator. If so, the mode shifter is bad.

Eric It works all the wash setting from extra large to normal except for super wash. During agitation, super leaks out of the flood hose (overflow). It stops once the agitation (wash) cycle is done but only at super setting. If the mode shift was bad, wouldn't all the setting have a leak from overflow?

Not necessarily. Take the magnet off the lid and place it over the switch so that you can run it with the lid open to see if the basket is agitating. If it's not, then you may just want to replace the pressure switch and hose. Also check the four dampening straps at the top of the tub. If one or more is broken, the tub may be swinging too much causing the leak.

How are you loading your washer? Make sure to load it with clothes then start the water. Not the other way around. Otherwise that can cause a overfill condition.
