Unhappy Washing machine leak

Anybody got any ideas about this?

I have a Whirlpool wahing machine, that's leaking water.

It's only clean water thats leaking, so not a drum seal or waste, but doesn't seem to be coming from inlet pipes.

Any ideas where I should look?

Cheers

It may be that the powder / fabric softner drawer is clogged up - so worth taking it out and giving it a good clean.

I've found this site useful as well

Impressed - this Scoobynet thing's great.

What's a washing machine - it's what you put your rags in when they are soaked in grease.

Have cleaned powder draw - no idea where the filter is or what it's filtering, but as it's only leaking clean water could that still be at fault.

Thanks for the website link

the filter might be at the front of the machine, maybe behind the panel at the bottom. You would probably need to unscrew it and pull it out, then just rinse it under the tap (and pull out any bits of fluff, rawlplugs, etc).
