.... Maybe the water is being pumped out too quickly and your drain is being overwhelmed, backing up and overflowing onto the floor. That happened at my moms house a number of times, but we were usually able to catch it before it made a huge mess on the kitchen floor. It's just a thought. By the way, I 2nd that..... too small of a load for the water level, or too much water for such a small load. Kevin |

well at this point, you have possibly two options....
re-run that same load to see what happens, it may or may not do the same thing, plus you may have to run it several times to get the same results... or carefully watch it through the next few weeks of laundry until you catch where the water is coming from.... you have a mystery currently on your hands....and there's the possibility it may never happen again... |

I had that happen with my Dependable Care as well. At first I would notice it every so often, and thought that the spray rinse plumb had been blocked and splashed over the tub.
One night I noticed a great amount of water as the machine was running. I took the front off and there was water running from the center, over the transmission and everywhere.
Turned out to be the tub seal. |

You have to see what is wet after a cycle where the machine leaked. If it is wet all over the outside of the outer tub it is not the tub seal for instance. If you don't have any small children around leave the front panel off till you see when in the cycle it is leaking and where.
I am going to guess that the inlet valve is sticking open sometimes and the machine is overflowing before the valve decides to close.
It does NOT have anything to do with load size, tension of the motor carriage springs.

In describing the test run I did this morning, It should that the spin tub and agitator spun clockwise during rinse, instead of "counter" clockwise. |
