    Hi all

    My Bosch waa24160gb/01 machine started leaking the other day
    (I think I make have over loaded it or something made loads of noise on the spin for that wash) its been leaking from from the inside since then

    I am pretty sure its the seal but I need to get in to have a proper look at the other pipes too ( either way I need to get the front off)


    its not held in by screws tho its held on with clips and I have no idea how to get them undone and I am a little worried I might snap them not knowing exactly how it should come off.

    Re: Can’t get front of Bosch off for seal replacement

    Right as it happens you don’t need to take the front off to replace the door seal ….local shop wasn’t convinced it was the door seal

    so I re fitted the seal upside-down (with the drain holes at the top instead of the bottom) and got the same leak so its not the door seal.

    all the pipes look fine and don’t appear to be leaking in any place

    I have filled the machine with some water and tilted it forward
    and the leak is dripping from the middle of the drum itself

    only place it come be really coming from is the element that I can’t get at because I can’t get the front casing off or the drum is cracked somewhere.


    History.

    Machine was working fine and still is other than the leak.
    the other night I put a load on that was either overloaded or badly balanced and the machine started banging like crazy as it was spinning and thats when the leak started.
