Fisher Paykel Ecosmart washing machine spills water.

I have a 1.5 yr old Fisher Paykel ecosmart washing machine. During the past 2 loads there has been a notable water leak (significant puddling on the floor). I haven't witnessed the problem, but there is notable water around the lid (top loader) and down the sides. My gut response is that it may be leaking during a spin cycle. There seems to be quite a bit of "play" in the washer tub. Can you help?

    I rand a small load with the usual amount of detergent and sat and watched the machine as it ran through it's cycles. Everything was fine until the final spin when there appeared some water drops from under the lid and additional water (perhaps the equivalent of about 2 cups, slightly soapy)from underneath the machine. Since it did not leak during the earlier rinse cycle, it seems like it shouldn't be a hose problem is it?

Sometimes too much detergent, or extra cleaners like oxy clean) will cause lots of foam which will cause the water level sensor to misread, or foam over the top of the drum. if this is not the problem, you will have to tilt the machine on its side and look for loose or damaged hoses. the play in the tub will not cause leaking

How do I see what is causing my Fisher & Paykel EcoSmart washer to leak water?

If it is leaking when draining this would point to the main seal of the WATER PUMP. (Quite common for older machines.)
The pump can be easily removed by leaning the machine backwards, remove wires and see picture. NOTE: about half a litre of water will gush out so it is best to take machine outdoors. Go to a recycling centre or online auction for a replacement. They can be fiddly to replace.

the play in the tub in normal, it sounds like you have an over sudsing issue, run an empty load with 3 cups of vinager in the tub, set the water temp to hot, cut way down on soap, if you use liquid dont even fill the cup 1/3 of the way, I know this sounds dumb but try it, I have one and this happened to me
