    I’ll do just that. Thank you so much for your help.

    Re: Indesit WD640 leak

    That’s interesting. When the machine was new and under warranty (about 9 or 10 years ago) we did have problems with noise on fast spin. The engineer said it was something to do with the dryer and he replaced part of it (no idea which). That’s the only time anyone’s been into the machine as, apart from that original problem, it’s worked perfectly ever since. Are you saying that the engineer reconnected that hose incorrectly? If so, I’m amazed I haven’t had any problems until now.

    Sorry, I’m new to all this

    Here are those images

    and yes, you’re absolutely right. It is a hotpoint. I’ve no idea why I thought it was an Indesit.

    btw the machine was new to me and has had no mods afaik, certainly not in the last 4 or 5 years during which time it’s worked perfectly

    This is a picture of the soap drawer. The grey hose is where the leak is. The water is coming out of the end of the hose.

    This is the other end of the hoses (not sure if this is what you were asking for)

    You can just about see that this end of the grey hose has a molded rubber end as you described, whereas the end attached to the soap drawer doesn’t

    Re: Indesit WD640 leak

    Thanks for the quick reply. There’s a lot of water coming out of the grey hose where it joins the drawer. I’ve tried to make sure the fit is tight but it doesn’t seem to help. A couple of segments near the end are white-ish as if they’ve been stretched and since there’s plenty of slack in the hose I plan to cut off the end 1cm or so and try re-attaching. I’ll let you know how I get on tomorrow.
