Front loading washing machine Model GLTF1670ASO is leaking water out the door when the washing cycle is started. The door seal was examined and appears soft and pliable. Nothing unusual found?? Joan
There are only two ways that water can leak out this way. it can be either the door seal or the door lock mech has become misaligned, causing a slight gap that is letting the water escape through.
I recommend inspecting the door lock mech for its integrity. make sure it is aligned correctly to specs. replace this mechanism if found to be faulty or misaligned. i would also inspect the seal for tiny ruptures as well. the slightest rupture or hole can allow small amounts of water to excape.
Inspect these areas thouroughly.
Also water can leak if there are gaps on the front
door gaskets and must be checked but this will happen only during the cycle and
not on the drain cycle end.

Thanks, I found the problem. When I checked the door seal I found a small piece of gravel in the fold and other small bits of trash after cleaning and conditioning the seal it works fine.
