Hello all,
I bought an LG branded washer/dryer combo deal from Home Depot on Black Friday a couple years ago. It must be a special Home Depot model cause the model number isn't even close to models on LG's website.

About a month into my purchase, the washer would occasionally leak from somewhere underneath, but ONLY when washing towels for some reason. I should have tried to get it fixed under warranty, but it only happened a couple times and only when I washed on the "Towel" setting. It's happening alot more frequently now and its leaking on the "Normal" setting too, yet its only when I wash towels! I don't think its the front seal and I don't think its coming from the drain pipe. My washer is located in the basement and has to pump the water up about 6 ft to the drain pipe, which I know is high, but previous washers never had problems and I don't have any water in the basin after the drain cycle.

Anyone have any clue where the water could be coming from?

Thanks!

Leaks like this are hard to find because you need to watch the machine operating and be able to see the source.

I suspect it is from the drain line, but I cannot explain why it would intermittent and not happen all the time.
