heating element?

we had a new heating element fitted and all water came out the bottom of the washing machine could this be because the heating element wasn't tighted up properly.

My washing machine is a hotpoint WT 540

Probably wasnt sealed properly - needs a sealant called debor glue around edge of rubber seal. also mounting nut needs to be properly tightened. Check out www.2ndwave.co.uk/manual.html
