my LG WM1522FD front-load washer slowly seeps water from the bottom front of the soap-dispenser during washes.
The bin drains well - I think it is poor design - all water filling the drum has to go in via the soap dispenser, so there is a lot of spray from many jets in there, I think some is bouncing out perhaps? Has anyone any ideas please?

Thanks,

Hi Danny,
thanks for helping, but I did this already:
remove dispenser bin, pour water into outer and it runs away fast. dispenser has no crud-very clean. short fat pipe runs to tub - so fast water runaway. I have turned the cold feed cutoff tap down and checked flow now lower.
any chance LG have an updated dispenser for it?

Thanks,

take out the dispenser drawer and check if the outlet hole is blocked.
If necessary remove the top cover of the machine,(power off) and disconnect the flexible hoses from the dispenser. Check if theyre blocked. The dispenser itself can be separated - generally held together with plastic clips. Clean out any crud or hardened detergent. Also check the hose which runs from the dispenser tray to the drum for internal blockages.

Possibly too high water pressure entering machine? Its possible to fit restrictor washers to the inlet to reduce water pressure.
