Take the top off and use a flashlight to watch it go through the clean cycle. It may take some time. But it has to be coming from a hose, door seal or from the pump area.
Agreed David, it’s exactly what I did yesterday before sending ? today; everything looked dry, including metal washer floor. Bottom hose to pump felt dry & pliable but not removed yet. I wonder if I should & closely examine.
What’s so puzzling: doesn’t leak after brief or normal wash cycles only cleaning one. Perhaps that cycle pumps tons of water otherwise it fine. Only damp spot noticed was top of waste water hose its clamp rusty yet no evidence of drip just dampness.
As you know, the clean cycle puts a lot of water in the tub. This adds more pressure to the drain system. To replicate the problem, you need to run a clean cycle and then watch it.
