SOURCE: whirlpool duet frontload washer leak

a quart of water over the course of a cycle is pretty significant, other then trying to remove the fabric softener section looking for a blockage in the dispensor(which is basic and should be real evident ) theres not much more for you the consumer to look for.(or should you have to for that matter its why you bought a NEW appliance). As for the service , you've purchased a Whirlpool product, therefore you can call any whirlpool authorized Company out to service you dont need to wait for Sears!!!!!!!

SOURCE: whirlpool washer overflows at detergent dispenser

Hello, I worked on a problem like this a few days ago. Your problem is going to be a blockage in the inlet to the drum. To fix this problem find the inlet pipe normally located above the door behid a flap of rubber..push your fingers up there to see if you can feel a blockage..If not your going to have to remove the lid of the machine to access the pipe that leads from the detergent drawer to the tub. Look at the rear top of the machine..You will see three screws....remove them and push back and lift the top panel (lid) now you should be able to access the pipe. Pull the pipe off and clean it out, i suspect you will find a sock blocking the pipe :) If you have any other questions or concerns please feel free to comment again. Good Luck! Mike

SOURCE: whirlpool duet washer leaks from

We just had the same problem. We took off the three screw on the back to remove the top panel on washer. From there we took the screws off the electric face plate on the front. Be careful, there is a screw located inside the door. You must open the door to get to the screw. Next we removed the bottom panel door and then the four screws to the mail metal panel on the front. Hold that panel because the rubber gasket is still connected. Then you will see a rubber hose directly under the drawer. Take the rubber hose off at the bottom nearest the drum. We found a sock that had wedged itself up and was causing a back up. After I cleared it, the washer works just fine.

Fabric softener premature release

In my case it was simply a matter of cleaning the nozzles that spray the water into the MAIN DETERGENT compartment. Turns our that when the washer was filling up, some nozzles were partially clogged and were directing water to the side where the softener compartment was, causing the fluid level to rise and therefore releasing the softener early. The washer was NOT spraying water in the softener side, what happens is that the dispenser tray is configured in a way that when the fluid reaches a certain max level in the softener/bleach trays, it completely drains. A way to test for this problem would be to completely dry the softener tray and start the wash cycle like you normally would (including detergent), only without adding any softener to the tray and see if after filling there is any water in the softener tray, this would prove that the water is coming from the other side.

Frigidaire front load washer (GLTF1040ASO) is leaking water by the detergent dispenser area. Any suggestions on what this could be?

This is usually caused by solidified detergent blocking the water ways in the detergent dispenser.

Check the inside of the dispenser to make sure the outlet holes are not blocked.

Most dispensers can be removed for cleaning check your appliance instructions for details.

Leaking from Detergent tray

TAKE THE DETERGENT TRAY OUT AND CLEAN IT.
IF THE PROBLEM PERSISTS TURN THE WATER DOWN TO A DRIBBLE AND SEE IF THIS FIXS THE FAULT. IF IT DOES--- THE WATER IS SPLASHING UP THE FRONT OF THE TRAY AND OVER THE TOP.
1) TAKE THE TRAY OUT 2) LOOKING AT THE TOP OF THE CAVITY ,COUNT BACK 4 ROWS OF HOLES, DRIILL THEM OUT TO 1/4 INCH . 3) BLOCK THE FIRST 3 ROWS OF HOLES WITH SILSATIC.

IF THE SLOW FILL DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM TAKE THE 2 SCREWS OUT OF THE BACK AND SLIDE THE TOP OFF, YOU WILL THEN BE ABLE TO SEE THE DISPENSER AND THE HOSES GOING TO IT. THEY MAY BE DAMAGED.

Water comes out of my detergant tray on to my floor

If water is not making it into the drum, open the washer door and feel around the bellow (door gasket) for anything blocking the water inlet port into the washer (It's common for a sock(s) to get wedged up there and cause a blockage).

Let me know if you need more assistance.
Good luck!
Paulo - Thanks - it was the other end of the drum - a paper seal from the detergent was blocking the top of the drum and water that was flowing thru the detergent tray was being deflected out of the tray and causing the flooding - I feel like I just saved $900 for a new washer - Thanks to all!

Moldy smell

Jeffrey is right - washing water temperature is very important. Just as important is the amount of detergent used and whether or not softener is used. The self-cleaning mode does not address the problem because it does not clean the "splash area" just above the normal waterline. Suds and soiled waters splash up and don't get rinsed out. This is invariably the area of worst buildup. To clean the splash area add 1 cap of smelly washer cleaner to a full load of laundry. The added bulk of the laundry will raise the water level to include the splash area. For more extreme problems intermittently pause to soak.

Streaks on glassware/silverware

usually indicative of clogged spray heads, or spray arms not spinning, too much detergent for your water type, wrong detergent, and low water temp.

Link to manual:

Check the manual for amounts of detergent to use based on your water hardness.

After washing clothes, water stays in the detergent tray.

Best plan is probably to take the detergent tray right out of the machine, then take it to bits before washing it out with hot running water and a toothbrush.

The problem with these things is that the bit that blocks up is pretty well hidden until you dismantle the tray.
