The problem
No water on the floor during fill or wash, but a puddle appears every time it spins. The door seal looks intact.
What we told them
Spin-only leaks point at pressure and movement, not a static seal. The drum shifts under imbalance and the leak follows. Check the sump hose clamp beneath the drum and the outlet hose connection at the back — both are fine at rest and weep when the machine vibrates. Run a spin with the back panel off and a torch pointed at the sump; you will see it within thirty seconds.
