Default Leaking Washing Machine Drum

However, looking more closely, I think the silicone was more or less
working, but the drum has begun to rust through around the spot-welds
that attach the motor bracket. These are just under the element (very
small gap) and it looks as if 10 years of accumulated limescale and
gunk under the heater have kept the area wet.

I'll probably try getting the drum out for a laugh in any case, it
might be possible to weld on a repair section.

Anyway, working through that slot has given me a greater appreciation
of gynaecologists, so it's not a completely wasted effort. I think
I'll try and decorate the hall through the letterbox next.

Thanks,

Phil Young



Hehe. What strikes me is to use car body filler products.
