After replacing the sensor/actuator, then the door lid switch and door strike, I thought I was (almost) finished with repairs for the time being. However, I had noticed some water coming out from under the machine during previous repairs. Although it didn't look like a ton (at the time, when the machine was in its normal spot), I decided to take the back cover off and see if I could determine where the leak was coming from.
After pulling the back cover, I reconnected the drain hose and started a normal cycle. Everything was fine during sensor mode and with about 3-4 inches of water in the drum - then it started pouring out all over.
The only thing I can think of is that we had a mesh basket between the washer (on the right) and the dryer (on the left) and the towels, bedspread, etc. were absorbing all the leakage. Here are some images (hopefully) starting with the first leak:
After spending about $125 on the previous three parts, is it time to kick this machine to the curb, or is there a fix that this less-than-handy man can employ to stop this insane leak?
Thanks!
