    Hi,

    Our S51L43X0GB came up with an E15 the other day, I took the small panel on the front off and could see/feel a small amount of water in the base (unplugged first, obviously!).
    I tried it out what I could with a tea-towel and left it overnight to dry out more.
    In the morning the error was gone and I re-ran it, but after a few minutes the error came back.
    I’ve just taken the washer out, tilted it out to get the water out (a very small amount) and re-run it.
    I’ve spent the last 40 minutes lying on the kitchen floor with a torch peering through the front for any leak, but can’t see anything and so far it’s run for an hour or so without any error.

    Are there any common issues I should be looking out for that might cause a leak? Any seals worth replacing even if I can’t see the leak…?

    Thanks

    Pete

    ‘dried out’ not ‘tried it out’!

    Being an integrated unit, it doesn’t have sides, it’s just exposed insulation – if those are the sides you mean?
    It stopped again today, but I couldn’t see where the leak was coming from. Pretty difficult just looking through the gap where the panel was at the bottom front – is there a better way to get a look/diagnose the issue?

    Thanks

    yes take it out
    remove the lower covers from each side
    and re connect power and water pipe and run it

    So I’ve removed the three lower covers run it and had a look. It’s still leaking but I can’t see where from – there doesn’t appear to be any dripping, a puddle just appears.

    Can anyone suggest any specific areas it might be coming from?

    it has to be dripping from somewhere you just have to be at the correct angle at the correct time to see it
