Hotpoint WMD960P Leak?

Had the Hotpoint WMD960P Ultima for a couple of years and it works fine, however every now and then it leaves a little puddle of water on the left hand side as you look at it, towards the front corner. Checked screw fixtures and fittings and all is well. Even seals seem to be ok but can't tell without taking it to bits. Any ideas welcome please!

Hi all, Firstly, make sure the inside of the dispenser housing is clean, secondly, you could try dropping the front feet a little to lift up the front so the appliance is not leaning forwards, the known cure is to buy a new dispenser drawer, the later ones are modified in that they have an extra strip of plastic moulding underneath to prevent water running out of the front of the drawer and behind the front panel onto the floor, it usually leaks on the left hand side and almost always on the last rinse. I think the part no for the drawer is c00281253. Best to but it from the manufacturer as otherwise you may buy a new (old) design, the same as the one you are replacing. This will solve 99% of unexplained leaks.
