It is leaking underneath. 24 Hrs later it is dry enough to run for a short time. Turn power off at wall while you remove the front trim panel below the door. Turn power on & run machine. Watch for any water leaking or wet creeping across the tray. See where it comes from. Do not put your hand inside the opening or touch any wires etc while power is on at wall. Turn it off first.
