Hello Jake, thanks for your reply and my apologies for the delay in getting back to you. I have been trying to troubleshoot the issue for the past week. My wife neglected to inform me that during the wash the day before the load became extremely off balanced so I figured this may be where the majority of the water came from inside the washer, yet outside the tub. I dried it up, let it sit for a day and I took your advice and ran a few loads on medium with the front open and paying special attention to the drain pump. I was able to conclude that is not the issue. after slowly increasing the load size (no heavier than large) after a few days, no water problems.
I let my wife run a few small loads and guess what...next morning, there was traces of water outside the cabinet, so I opened it up and yes, water in the cabinet. Not as much the first time, but maybe an 8th of an inch. So again, I dried it up, ran a few loads, no problems. I did notice there was some condensation on the outside of the plastic tub in the cabinet, which may drip a bit. My well water tends to get very cold sometimes. Each time it leaked I found out my wife has been putting the '2nd spin, 2nd rinse' setting however, i'm not sure what happens during that cycle that may have contributed. It looks as though water may be dripping behind the back of the tub, behind the tub and bricks but hard to see without taking the entire machine apart.
I was even wondering if during fill up some water may be spritzing from the sprayer behind the tub. I took a toothbrush and scrubbed the holes incase they were clogged. I guess i will have to continue to watch the load cycles with the front off to see if I can pinpoint where the water may be coming from again. I can post pictures if needed, but again any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
