Hoover 6 WDM120 washer dryer dripped leaving a very small puddle after each wash.

The door seal was marked and thought that might be the problem so I replaced it. I am pretty sure I replaced it properly but it still leaks the same amount.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Many thanks

I had this problem on same model. It looked like a leak from the door seal, but was actually leaking from the detergent tray, down and running around the door. A friend of mine who is a plumber suggested turning the water pressure down slightly via the main stop-cock or check valve on the water supply to the machine (to stop it rushing into the detergent tray) and checking that the machine is level.
I did both of these and the leak stopped.

Check out the sump hoses, thermostat and heater seals for splits etc. Check the pump and connection to the filter trap. Could also possibly be a leak through the main bearing seal - check for rusty spray pattern round the back of drum shaft. Check out www.2ndwave.co.uk/manual.html for more info
