Crack in lastic outer drum
Does this look like them lines should be there and if it’s been glued before
11 Answers
Yes I’ve seen this before. The lines are far too straight for it to not be part of the mould.

Excellent. As long as it was only a hairline crack that didn't form a full circle it should be ok as long as there's no more coins!
You can imagine what a flood would occur if a whole chunk of that section dropped away.

Thank you for your help Andy i didn’t have a soldering iron so I used a heat gun to heat a small flat head screwdriver and smeared plastic from one side to other then I put a layer of sticks all adhesive sealer on top and tried it out today and no drips so thank you so much x
Yes that’s it, I’m hoping it’s an easy fix with the way you said
Is it top left just above the red numbers?

I think iv found the problem
Hi. If the tub is cracked it would need replacing. Small cracks might be able to be repaired as described in my article here how to repair cracked plastic drum on washing machine
If a coin damages a washing machine outer drum it is often high up or even at the front. I've never seen a crack that was in perfectly and long straight line though. Often the coin punches a hole. I can't see any cracks in your photos, only manufacturing lines.

There was two pound coins found after I’d checked the filter the first time and after cleaning all the hoses out and no problem I’m looking for cracks which looked like there was one there but had to remove the motor to check properly and to me it looks like it’s already been glued together and comparing with a new drum it’s not same
That would explain damage to the outer drum and leak. But there’s no way a coin could cause a crack so perfectly straight.

Are you sure it’s leaking from the lines and not leaking from higher up and just dripping off there? Leaks from the drum are almost exclusively caused by damage (cracks or holes) caused by metal objects left in pockets such as coins.
