Hi,

I hope somebody can take a look at the picture and tell me what's
wrong.

It's a Frigidaire Gallery HE (front loading) washer, about 7 years
old.

This is the picture of the bottom part of the washer, with lower front
panel off.

Just to the right of the motor, at the bottom of the drum housing
there's two screws. You can actually see a drop of water under the one
on the left. When washer goes into high-speed spin (and I am not even
using the highest speed setting) there's a visible leak from where two
halves of the lower housing meet, right under this screw. Basically
about two-three drops per second.

I suspect that the seal needs to be replaced - is this correct ? Is
this a DIY job ? And if I call service, what kind of repair bill am I
looking at?

I appreciate any help ! We've got two kids so this needs to be taken
care of quickly !


Try snugging up those hex head screws a bit. They may have loosened up
and if you're lucky you might get a reprieve.
Hi,
