Washing machine leak

HELP!!!

Home alone doing a wash and my Bosch washing machine has leaked copiously during the spin cycle! Not 100% sure where it's coming from but from the back I think.

Have mopped up the water as best I can but before I spend loads on a repair man, any advice for what I should check/look at myself?

Don't know where to start on Google and am hoping it's something very simple!

Thanks in advance

Check the hose is in the drain pipe.
Check that the pipe isn't clogged.
Check there isn't anything in the filter, you may have to manually drain the machine to check that.

Use polish under the feet of the machine - it’ll slide out really easily.

Check the pipes - one or two attaches for the water inlets - unlikely one spin cycle

The out pipe might have come lose - it’s usually a screw attachment.

If not those check the front there should be a filter it might be blocked

Do you regularly drain the water by the filter? Sounds really obvious but loads of people I know don't know you're supposed to do this ! If so have you fully tightened the cap on the filter bit ?
