Repair GE Front Load Washer leak

My GE front load washer started leaking a couple months ago out of the front left side, and after serveral attempts calling GE for solutions (one lady at GE even told me to unplug the entire machine to "reset" it, weird)  and not enough money to have a repair man come out my husband finally had enough time to take the thing apart and figure out the problem, I knew he went to engineering school for a reason!

The tensioner on the inner seal of the boot came loose allowing water to seap between the boot and tub. He cleaned the boot, it was covered in hard water deposits, and reinstalled it with the tensioner tightened. So far no problems. Hope this helps you if you have the same problem. Two hours later and atleast $80 saved our washer is back in business, thanks babe!
