My Hotpoint washer dryer developed a catastrophic water leak, upon inspection a pipe had blown off the bottom of the drum area on the underside of the washer. I reattached the pipe and secured it with a zip tie to prevent a further "blow off". I then turned the washer on and this time it blew water at a high pressure out of what appears to be a breather ontop of the unit. Can anyone help?
