My A106 leaks water. It is coming out of between the gasket that seals the top half to the bottom half of the transmission. This is evident during the wash cycle. .I rebuilt this machine 5 years ago and replaced all the seals and gaskets and it has run fine until last week. I can't visualise what might have failed to cause this. I refilled the transmission and sealed the new gasket with permatex. It has never leaked transmission oil since the rebuild so its amazing that water is now leaking out of the transmission. Is this job a total strip down again? It seems like it couldn't be the tub seal or water would come out of the tub. but whats going on here? And how do I address this? Thanks, Lenny.

Not really an electronics issue, but try the uk.d-i-y group (even if you are American) - there's someone there who knows all about washing machines.

Or maybe the alt.home.repair ng.
Good luck.
I don't know the machine in question, but my guess would be the top seal below the agitator. My experience lies on British machines where it`s usually a tulip shaped neoprene seal with an internal spring pressing a ceramic ring against a similar ring on the bottom of the drive cube onto which the agitator sits. If that`s the case, you will be able to replace it without much of a strip down.
