Every time I do a wash - which seems to be working fine - there is a

I cant see if there is any kind of seal gone on the removable filter
thing at all and it doesn't seem to be a purchasable spare part...

any ideas?


I had a look at the manual online and it looks like just about any other
filter.

yup. I agree

What about temporarily sticking sellotape, duck tape, insulating tape,
etc where the filter plug meets the filter body. It should be enough to
seal it for a couple of washes. If you don't get water on the floor that
would suggest it's the fit between the plug and body.


It tightens up very 'hard' as if there was no rubber seal.

Maybe a tiny piece
of grit preventing a perfect seal? If it still leaks, then it's
something else. Hairline crack in the plug or body? Leak higher up which
is running down the filter body, and so it just looks like it's the
filter itself which is leaking?

Good thoughts.

What should actually be in there? I had expected some kind of gauze, but
there is none.
