have a look pop the front panel off and look for leak evidence-could be as major as a main seal or simple as a leak at the pressure switch fitting. | ||

I've heard a few reports over the years that SQ TLs are prone to seal failures. No sign of one yet on our AWS76 (about the same age). Could you let us know what this problem turns out to be? Also, do you routinely run large or oversized loads in the machine? | ||

Another stupid question, have you checked or changed the inlet hoses, and their connections? Mike | ||

well, first I would check it out myself, and most likely fix it........
but for the most part, I would still investigate, to let the repair man know when and how the water is getting on the floor.... a certain cycle or water temp/level setting...a particular load that was being done...when exactly did the water show up..... Repairmen usually charge by the hour....he can run every single cycle trying to find the issue.....or you can help him along and get right to the possible cause.... work with him.....not against him..... offer him a bottle of chilled water or snack as well....it will go a long way! watch it be a small 5.00 part you could have replaced yourself...... | ||

Sink checks out no drain pipe leak - but as I mentioned the only place that was dry was under the sink. Not sure how the water didn't make it there... Oh, well.... | ||

Oh NO, Anthony. I know we both suffered the Amana leaking center seal syndrome. I hope it is an inexpensive repair. Arthur | ||

Well, at least if it is the main tub seal, it happened this time after 7 years instead of 2 years with the Amana. | ||

I called it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A cracked drain hose!! Hooray, but seriously, I am glad it's not a major repair, and all Speed Queen owners can breath a collective sigh of relief! MIKE | ||
