Brand New Mhw6000aw Leaked Water Sometime During The First 'clean' Cycle.
The brand new front load washer leaked sometime during the first "clean" cycle somewhere around the front right corner. I checked every water connection and the bottom of the door and didnt see any water so it looks like it had to come from under the washer. Thanks for any ideas?

If as you say this washer is "brand new," it's covered by your warranty, and almost certainly also by the retailer's return policy. My first course would be to phone the retailer for a replacement. You can also phone Maytag, at 800-462-9824, for free service.
