Washing Machine Leaking Down Concrete Block

This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.

Washing machine leak appearing behind concrete balance weight

The problem

The washing machine was leaking, with water appearing from behind a concrete balance weight and leaving a wet patch on the floor. The source was not directly visible.

Likely cause

The strongest supported diagnosis was a leak from the door seal area, with water running down onto the concrete weight. Another suggested possibility was a leak from the outer tub, including around fixing brackets or from tub damage, but this was not confirmed.

What fixed it

The accepted advice was to trace the true source of the leak because water may have been running onto the weight from elsewhere. The original poster then stated they suspected the door seal was the cause and asked about obtaining a replacement seal. The exact repair was not confirmed in the discussion.

Checks to try

• Observed that the concrete balance block was wet and aligned with the wet patch on the floor
• Advice given that leaks can track from elsewhere onto the weight
• Door seal identified by the original poster as the suspected source

Parts or tools mentioned

• Replacement door seal
• Epoxy resin or special leak-fixing compound
