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?

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. Eric
