Last night washing a rug, (heavy cotton from a bathroom) and went to the laundry room and almost broke my neck. WATER all over the floor. And a lot. Well we know these machines dont use much, so I got it cleaned up and decided to find the leak. First guess was the gasket. NOPE. When it is filling water sprays out from the fill flume all over inside the cabinet, with some going into the washer. Will have to figure out how to take it further apart to see what is going on. Real different from working on vintage machines. YUK. Gotta figure out how to get the top off of the machine to reveal the truth I know Brent in Atlanta had changed his door gasket one time. Maybe he could be a coach! Steve |

Hey Steve that is really a shame, these machines sure aren't very old!! Did you buy the service contract with yours?? Keep us posted as to what the problem is. |

There was just too much www...., http. and .com's in the address line. Cleaned up and working - here is the link. Thanks for (trying ;-) to post this, Brent, I've wanted the Duet version of the manual and it's nice to have on the computer instead of trying to find somewhere to put it in the house! Steve, this sounds like an easy repair - you'll be tumbling again in no time. Water on the floor sucks - not as bad as oil, a drop feels like a gallon - but it's always a mess. Do you have one of those carpet cleaners? I've needed a wet-dry vac for a long time but have used my Hoover Steam-Vac for just water pick up more times than I care to remember. It's bound to happen with a house full of water-using appliances! CLICK HERE TO GO TO gansky1's LINK |

My oh My, you'd thought I have known you all for many years the way you all ran to my rescue. THANKS so much for all the information. The problem was this litte hose that connects to the "Window Washer" as pictured. The bath rug that I was washing went so out of balance in the machine that it kicked the hose off of the white water outlet pictured below. I am very taken that there is no hose clamp etc to hold this hose on. Could only imagine that it would tear the door gasket if something was there to hold the hose on?????????????? Go figure. I know I wont be running this machine again if I am not home! Thanks all your concern and all who helped! Steve |
