Indesit Iwb71250. Stresssssss
My washing machine started leaking about a week ago, I put it on a quick wash with a bed set in to test it & it flooded but looked like it had a few soap suds in it but not enough that there were bubbles. I've turned it on its side & checked the drain hose, thats fine, the filters cleared (there were a few coins in the pipe) but i did it earlier & it seems to be coming from the middle of the machine at the top. I cant get my hand round the middle of the drum on its side but the pump i can see going from the detergent drawer to the drum is dry. The drum itself is dry.
I'd really appreciate some help, i'm really stressed out about it.

This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.
Indesit IWB71250 leaking during wash; leak source not identified
- The problem
- The Indesit IWB71250 washing machine began leaking about a week earlier. On a quick wash with a bed set, it flooded. The owner reported the water seemed to be coming from around the middle/right side near the top of the machine, but no obvious wet hose or component was visible after tipping the machine.
- Likely cause
- The exact cause was not confirmed. The discussion only supports that the leak could be from any of several places and that the source had not yet been located by inspection.
- What fixed it
- Recommended action was to remove the top lid and carefully examine the machine to trace the leak source. The thread does not document a confirmed repair or the exact leaking part.
- Checks to try
- Drain hose checked and reported fine
- Filter cleared
- A few coins were found in the pipe
- Visual inspection suggested water from the middle/right side near the top
- Pipe visible from the detergent drawer to the drum was reported dry
- Drum itself was reported dry
Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

Washing machines can leak from dozens of different places, it's down to carefully examining everywhere to find the leak

I've seen it comes from the middle, around the right side, but when we tip it after it's washed to see if there are any wet tubes etc, there doesnt seem to be anything obvious. I cant get the top off either?
I thought you just removed the screws at the back of the lid, then slide the lid backwards and lift off? Try searching youtube and you should see. It isn't easy to see where it's leaking from with the lid on.
Yes all washing machine lids I've seen have 2 screws which are removed and then the lid is knocked and slid backwards to remove.
