My little sisters machine is leaking slowly from the from door. It sounds as though the door is filled with water? All the seals seem still look like new. There is no odours or noises. The problem started 3 days ago.

Are you sure it's from the door? I have the same problem - thought it was coming from the door but actually it's coming from the water inlet/powder tray. It runs down behind the door and drips out at the bottom of the door. I haven't found a solution yet but looking at other postings on the web it seems like a common problem, the water inlet is too near the front of the machine and water spills out of the powder tray and finds it's way out of the front.

Drain machine by advancing to the empty part of program or running the outlet pipe into a bucket at floor level or run the outlet pipe out of the back door if it'll reach.

Check the pressure switch -the system that determines correct water level in the drum. Its a round item about 3 inches across with several wires connected, it sits under the top cover. Its an air operated switch which tells the machine water has reached the correct level. Disconnect the thin rubber pipe from the switch and blow down through it to clear any blockage. Switch itself may be faulty but its more likely the pressure pipe or the vessel attached to the other end of the pipe is blocked.
Also check the filter - generally located behind a panel at the foot of the machine.Some are obvious like little square hatches and some are hidden behind the trim panel at the foot of the machine. Once panel is removed the filter should be visible. Its generally a circular plastic fitting which unscrews in an anticlockwise direction.
