10 year old LG front load washer - possible leaking solenoid valve - DIY vs Repair Man?

Additionally I bought a water collection tray under the washer as a safety net for future, since my laundry is on the first floor.

But unfortunately the leak didn't stop. And when I paid bit more attention, it was coming randomly at times from the detergent tray as I could trace the water from the tray once. Because it's hard to sit in front of the washer to identify the leak since it happens at random.

Ended up getting rid of the machine because 1 to 200 bucks labor plus parts and then they say depending on your use 10 years is quite a life to get out of these things.

Best of luck, hopefully you are able to resolve your issue
