Why Is Our Lg Wt5001c Is Leaking From The Bottom Of The Dispenser Drawer?

Our LG WT5001C washer is just over a year old. Water is leaking from under the dispenser drawer. Is it possible there is a clog and the drawer just needs to be cleaned? Please provide assistance as to why this may be happening. Thank you, Michelle
