Old one got a tear in the front and was leaking water on the floor. Had to take apart a bunch of the machine, and I gotta say that the two seals (inner drum and outer casing) were both tricky to get on properly.
Doing a test load of laundry now, and there’s no leaks (so far), so that’s pretty excellent
You can also do it the lazy (and cheaper) way and get one of those toddler fridge locks to hold it shut
