Leak around Duet wash machine

Question edited for clarity and spelling.

The cement is a balance weight. The leak can't be from the concrete block itself, so it must be from where the concrete block is fitted to the drum. If you can dry it thoroughly, yes you can seal around it with silicone caulking.

hi Eamon.
this is what i found from the internet.
Washing machine leaks on spin Last updated on February 6th, 2017
Sometimes a washing machine leaks on spin, but not before. If this is the case, either it's going into spin with too much water inside, or something may only be leaking under the pressure and tub movement caused by spinning.
If you can see water running out of the soap drawer during spin it's probably gone into spin without pumping the water away properly. If it wasn't pumping water out at all it would not go into spin, but a partial obstruction can reduce the flow enough to allow a spin with the water unable to escape fast enough. This causes water to be forced up into the drawer or out of the steam vent at the back. If you suspect this check the last section of this article - Washer leaks from drawer
If water is coming from underneath when it spins then it's more likely to be caused by something leaking only under pressure. Check the door seal all around inside for slits and small holes, especially higher up, which may only open up and let water out when the washer is bouncing around on spin.
Other possible causes are hoses inside the machine which have small holes which open up during spin or which leak where they connect to the tub under spin conditions. These type of leaks often leave tell-tale rust or dry detergent marks. After that there could be a crack or small hole high up in the plastic outer tub which only gets exposed to water when it's forced around the tub during spin.
You are looking for something that is moving and allowing water out when the tub bounces around under load, or something high letting water out when it gets thrashed around the top half of the machine on spin. If you can't see anything obvious get a washing machine engineer

open the door,check the rubber boot for any holes,ussually that's where it leaks,also wipe the inside of the door,i've found hair and lint stuck on the inside bottom of the door and water leaks out but pull open the rubber boot and run your fingers all around it to check for any holes.you can remove the bottom panel and then run the machine to see where the leak is coming from.

Pull off the lower front panel and watch while washing . You should be able to pinpoint it .

you can remove the bottom panel in front on this unit... the screws are near the floor then that bottom piece can be pulled away... there is a clean out next to the pump assembly run some water and see where water is coming from most likely a hose or pump assemble is leaking ..check all hoses like i said run unit and you should be able to use a flashlight and find the culprit water leak...
good luck to you

Yes it will that's a rubber boot that keeps the water inside the machine. You will need a qualified service technician come out to your home to replace that sorry for the troubles hope this helps. Also see if it is under warranty all manufactures offer 1 year warranty unless you paid for a extended warranty.

dealng with a leak of this nature, it could be anything from a tear in the door boot (rubber peice between door and tub), a pin hole in the water pump or hoses, or a bad tub seal. Ideally you need to take the top off of the machine and run it to determine where exactly the water is coming from. One other thing to check, if you are using a detergent that suds up too much, a front load washing machine will leak around the door seal... they are designed for non-sudsing detergent.

check your rubber bellow you might have had something go threw it.

It sounds like you have a leak somewhere around the door bellow. This is the rubber boot that seals the wash tub to the door frame. Pull the folds back and inspect around the entire perimeter of the rubber. You could have a small rip or tear somewhere. There are a series of small holes in the bottom of the bellow that are supposed to be there. This is the allow any standing water to drain back into the wash tub. If you cannot find any obvious signs of leaks, remove the lower panel under the door. This is accomplished by removing the screws under the bottom edge of the panel. With the screws removed, the panel will drop down, then off. Start the washer on a normal wash and watch for any leaks. If the door bellow leaks, the front counterweight (usually a concrete block) will begin to get wet and drip. This could also be an indication of the bellow clamp around the wash tub being loose. If the leak starts to pool under the washer and run out the front, this is usually an indication of a drain pump leak or drain line leak. Please inspect the washer with the panel removed and the washer on a load and post back and let me know. Go to my profile and use the "Ask Me" feature for a quicker response. I hope this helps you.

PS One other item. On the left hand side of the door bellow is the a dispenser tube that penetrates through the bellow and allows water to enter the wash tub. Sometimes the dispenser tube is not seated all the way into the rubber (should be seated past the flange) and it will dispense water behind the rubber instead of into the wash tub. Just something else to consider...

When the machine has filled TURN THE POWER OFF.then tip the machine back & lean it on the wall, look around for the leak it should be fairly easy to see. It may be the door seal which has split, you should be able to see this be examining the seal with the door open
