The washer is leaking out of the bottom. Door and seal seem fine. Hinges "seem" tight, but when I push on the bottom of the door, it stops. It looks like the seal is not touched the door correctly. What needs fixing?
The first thing i would try is to loosen the hing screws couple of turns,push in on the bottom hinge and tighten screws.

This could be the rubber seal or the door lock. If the door lock is not pulling it tightly closed then it needs to be replaced. Check the seal really closely and make sure there are not cracks and it does not look deformed

First, clean off the bottom of the door glass where it contacts the gray tub gasket when the door closes. Any hair or other build up can result in leakage. Second, if that does not completely solve your leak, you can move the location of the spring which holds the tub gasket from the very bottom (6 O'clock position) to the hinge area (9 O'clock position). Third: Sometimes, the reason you get a leak is due to the installation. If the washer was pushed into place by applying pressure in the center front of the washer, the outer front panel can be slightly deformed (inwerd) resulting in leakage from the door. If that is the case, sometimes you can remove the outer clamp and outer part of the gray seal and pull out on the front panel to correct the situation if it is not too severe, rather than replacing the entire front panel.

Open the door. At the bottom of the gasket on the machine there are three little holes. The is where the water drains. Make certain they are not plugged. Use a close hanger or tweezers to pull what's pugging it or push in threw to unclog it. If that doesn't work, look to see if the door is crooked.
Those things get clogged easy if you have pets that shed hair. Should be checked once a month.
