Drain plug on washing machine leaks when refitted
LG washer - model F1256QD - leaks badly! Everything's been working fine since new, till I unscrewed the pump filter drain plug in the front of the machine to clean it as per instruction book. Now I have screwed the plug back in as far as it'll go, water runs out at a fast trickle from around the plug. First I thought I'd missed out a washer, but the only one appears to be integral with the plug body. How can I test it for water tightness without having another flood? Many thanks!

Some filters can easily be fitted 'cross threaded' Remove it and carefully check you are offering it to the machine 'squarely' as yo refit. Pour one glass of water into the drum or drawer to check for leaks before filling the machine.
