Beko WMI71641 Inconsistent Leak

I’ve owned the above washing machine since 2015. Recently it’s developed an annoying leak, which seems to be coming from the left hand side of the washing (soap dispenser area)

Some times the leak seems to come down the front of the machine from the soap dispenser (almost like its splash back from the drum)

I’ve kind of reached the end of my tether with it – but it’s built in and I suspect replacing it with another manufacturers machine is going to be a pain because the door hinge positions will be different.

I’ve checked it drains ok, taken apart the drain hose and checked for leaks, checked the pump filter is clear.

I’ve taken apart the the soap drawer assembly – made sure it’s clear along with the soap drawer to tub pipework.

Door seal has been removed and refitted and also seems fine,

But still the damn thing leaks occasionally

It doesn’t always leak, and it seems worse on some programs than others. I used the Cottons program last and it left quite a bit of a mark on the floor. Normally I use the daily quick. There didn’t seem anywhere obvious where the water had come from though.

The thing is currently in bits on the kitchen floor

I also know someone else with the same washer who has suffered similar issues, to the point the front of their machine has rusted around the soap dispenser

Any suggestions or ideas greatly appreciated 🙂
