The only component of the washer that could be causing the drip was the water valve. First turn off the water at the wall and unplug the power cord. We have a GE Profile front load washer so to access the values you take the water hoses loose from the back, remove the three screws along the top of the back of the washer and slide the whole top back about an inch and a half to unlock it. The top can be lifted off and placed aside. The water valve is at the top, on the left side of the back of the washer cabinet. Remove the four clips from the wiring harness by pulling each clip straight off the water value contacts. Use pliers to squeeze the clamp on the small water line coming off the values on the left, and work the clamp back off the enlarged part of the inside water hose. Pull the hose free of the vales, working it back and forth if it is tight. One screw on the back of the washer holds the value body in place so remove that and the old valve is free. Reverse the process to put the new value in place.
