This machine started to leak a few weeks ago from the right rear corner.
I originally thought it was the hoses as one was getting rusty so i replaced both.
It's still leaking but the hoses are bone dry right up to the taps so it's not coming from there.
I'm suspecting the water pump but don't want to dive in and replace that without checking to see if anyone else has some thoughts on the matter.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Also any leads as to where i could find a service manual on this that shows how and what has to be removed to access the pump?
Thanks to all in advance.
Gord

If you will take out the two screws at the bottom of the front panel, it will come off and you can operate the machine with it off and locate the source of the leak.
After you do so, the fix should be obvious, but let us know if you need further help.

Thanks for the reply With this panel off , would i be able to see the water inlet hose's at the far right of the machine as well? Someone suggested that there might be a loose clamp or crack in the hose running from here to the water inlet in the drum.

That sounds like the kind of leak you have. You can probably shine a light in there to see the leak, but you will have to take off the top to get to the valves, which you can do once you have taken off the front panel.

So then it could be the actual "electrical valves" , or the hose running out of it to the drum , correct? Thanks for all your help , just don't want to go out and spend a mint on parts if i can nail down the thing causing the problem. Gord

Don't worry, once you see it you will find it likely is a hose, an inexpensive repair. Even if it is the valves it will not cost much, and you will save substantially by not having to have a tech visit.
