Re: Leak from Hotpoint BWM129. Help with door seal.

Sorry Jim,
Not quite getting this. When you say cold fill only do you mean its only got cold water to it?

Re: Leak from Hotpoint BWM129. Help with door seal.

Me again,
I think i have been going down the wrong path right enough. Just to clarify things , does the cold water only enter the machine after the first spin cycle of a 40 degree wash.
If so then its leaking as soon as the cold water fill starts. It is not leaking out of the front of dispenser unit so internal somewhere. Once the hot water enters the dispenser i take it that it takes the same path into the machine so it cant be a pipe from there onward.
Before i take machine apart i would like to know as much as i can. How does the top come of this machine , if at all , as i want to check the cold water connection onto the dispenser unit. Don’t suspect water pressure as haven’t noticed any increase recently and has worked ok for 18 months.

Any help much appreciated. 😮

Me again,
no this is defo leaking underneath. I put my hand under and just by the lip and a little left of centre i can feel the drips so thats why i suspect the seal. Was wondering if any pipes up there.

Thanks for that,
When you say the soap dispenser where would it leak into the machine. Its not coming out of the front.

Thanks Jim,
I was talking generally about jobs and i certainly couldn’t do my job without having the power on sometimes ie. setting up motion / hydraulic systems , computers etc.

Its funny how it only happens on cold water cycle but hopefully i’ll get there.

Thanks Jim,
Further investigation has revealed a drip about 1 to 2 inches left of centre and about 1 inch back. Of course it all collects on the mounting rail and spreads out but its a starting point.
On day off will take out and tip up and see what is in the vicinity but would be handy to get service manual . Do you know where i can get one.

Don’t worry will disconnect but sometimes just got to do things with power applied.

Thanks Again.

Fatboy. 😆
