We have a Frigidaire Washer/Dryer Laundry Center. Model # fgx831fs3.

Here is the issue as I see it:

When the washer is on a fill cycle, as it's filling, it's also leaking directly out of the bottom so that the drain pan under the machine just gets absolutely flooded with water.

Then, the drain pan doesn't actually drain and I end up with a pool of water.

This leads me to believe I have two distinct problems:

1) A leak somewhere that is causing the machine to overflow into the drain pan.

2) A clog in the drain pan's drain, which is preventing it from actually draining, and creating a pool of stagnant water underneath the washing machine.

I know all of -zero- about washing machine repair, so I have no idea what could be causing the water overflow into the drain pan in the first place.

Any thoughts on either of those things?
