Beko WMC126W leaking water

Hi,

I have a Beko WMC126W washing machine that is leaking water from the front bottom of the machine. I have a photo of where the leak appears to be coming from but can't identify the part - does anyone know? The photo is taken from the bottom of the machine looking up.

I have checked/drained the filters, nothing appears to be stuck in them.

The machine is just over 4 years old, is it worth trying to get it repaired or just buy a new machine?

Many thanks for any help/advice!

Hello. The leak could be running down from the back of the door seal or it could be coming from the plastic outer drum. You'd need to physically investigate and probably take off the front panel if it comes off. If the drum has gone it may well be expensive.
