Hotpoint Aquarius washing machine leaking

Hi, I have a Hotpoint Aquarius washing machine model WMA 30 (approx 10 yrs old) recently it has started to leak a small amount of water underneath (cup full), appears to be during the spin cycle, I cant see where the leak is coming from, removed the back panel and removed the black rubber bellows type hose from the pump to what looks like a filter (plastic tube with a plastic ball in it) and this was clear as was the drainage line from pump, any any ideas what else to check for, appears to be only on certain washes or if you run two washes back to back.

Possible door seal???

They tend to split half way up on the insides, on final spin machine has more water and so if its split this is when it tends to leak, check that first.

thx, will definately look at that, would it not be obvious from the front if the door was leaking ?

No, it leaks internally.

will check that out this evening, have it pulled out on concrete floor to get a better idea where its leaking from, thx again.

Usually when they leak internally it comes down onto the chassis and can then leak out anywhere.

Hi Fishingmad,

I just saw your post, I seem to have a similar problem. I removed the black hose and i can see a small pin hole where water is leaking out. I am trying to get a replacement hose, but they only sell the hose as part of a full sump pump kit which costs almost €60. I was wondering if you ever solved your problem?
