Answer

Corina, based on the information provided, it is very likely that the diverter seal has failed and is causing this leak. When the diverter seal fails, the replacement procedure is to replace the sump base (will require transferring original parts over) or assembly (will require very few original parts transferred over). Unfortunately, the model number provided is not registering within our database. If the model could be verified and posted in a new inquiry, this will allow for the most accurate information in regards to this. If the model number is WDT790SLYM3 (the same model just removing the 8) then the sump base is part number WPW10455268 and the entire assembly is part number WPW10605057.
