my washer leaks out the front door. i replaced the boot and the seal and it still leaks. Im wondering if it is overfilling and the pressure from the water is pushing out on the door allowing it to leak by. If so what do i do?

Remove the door and the front panel. Put the front panel aside and install the door back. Run the washer and watch where it's leaking from. Post the results.

:) I could watch the pressure of the water push out on the door until it finally let the water leak out at the bottom of the door. I did find the air hose to the pressure switch had a small hole rubbed into it where it had lain against the concrete counter balance. I patched the hole and the machine now works fine again. Thanks for you help!

You are welcome. I'm glad it was a simple fix.
