thanks got it sorted now, just doing a empty to wash to see if it floods every where.. hehe

it was still leaking so took it apart again to make sure nothing was wrong, only to find the door lock fell lose and now the door will not lock once its all back together

Is there a connecting rod on the back of the lock to pull down.

there is but ive managed to get it back together and the door closes with out that rod. Although its still leaking out the bottom front left(as you look at the machine) by the leg and the back left leg(as you look at the machine) think im gonna have to call out someone as its bafferling me

Take the lid off and you will see it on the left it's a big black tube that runs from the dispenser to the drum.

had a look at the pipe and a little fiddle, so far on a quick cycle no leaks if anything does pop up ill let you know.

Thanks for your help
