The leak starts as soon as the machine starts filling so the leak exists before the water gets into the drum. With a bit of fiddling I managed to get the front off the machine.
There are greeny / black sediment trails around the bottom end of a hose joining the outlet of the powder draw and the inlet on the side of the drum.
I've removed the hose, cleaned it and checked it for leaks as best as I can. I filled it with water and twisted and pulled but it looks fine and no signs of cracking.
It looks to me the leak is where the bottom of the hose meets the drum but there is no washer or tightening device to hold it in place, as opposed to the powder draw end which has a self tightening metal ring. The hose is held in place by being larger than the hole in the drum and being flared out at the end.
I found a online service manual of a lower model but I can't see any special connector between the hose and drum.
I can't see the leak first hand as I have to reassemble the machine to test it so I can't be sure if its the draw, the hose, or the drum inlet.
Many Thanks
