    Hi,
    Had this machine for several years now and recently it has developed a very small leak (about a couple of tablespoons) of clear water on the final rinse/spin stage. Have taken the top off and looked around the top section and checked the door seal. Nothing obvious there. how do I remove the outer case to delve further into to the machine?

    Regards

    Steve

    You cannot remove the outer case, only the small lower back panel and the front panel can be removed.

    It is possible to run the machine to look for leaks with the rear back panel off but you cannot run the machine with the front panel removed.

    hi iadom,

    Thanks for your reply, I will have another look I have seen the small back panel that you refer to but not sure how much it will let me see inside, How would I go about removing the front panel, if required, as the leak seems to be from the front left (facing the machine) corner?

    It might be a good idea to remove and thoroughly clean the detergent dispenser drawer and housing. If your cold water pressure is high you could find that turning it down a little using the tap to the machine fill hose may stop the leak.
