Hiya thank you for this.
It had only just started a few minutes prior, I don't think it had even got as far as fully soaking the clothes let alone releasing detergent, certainly nowhere near the spin and drain cycle. I was too scared to try the separate drain cycle so can't currently open the door as there's water inside still.
I do know how to clean the filter which is on the front, I'm assuming that's the only one? However the water was coming from directly under the machine if that makes any difference, pretty central too.
The corrugated hose and vertical pipe. Do you mean the bendy hose that is attached to my sink pipes? They aren't vertical which is why I'm confused. If so there was no leak under the sink and it was totally dry. Is it possible it is the other end of the bendy hose that's attached to the WM?

Ok, that's interesting - it might be from the fill drawer - I think it's a flexible pipe that feeds the drum? Not sure.
Anyhoo - MAKE & MODEL!
Your drain hose is the bendy one, but is corrugated. Yes, it may feed directly into a connector under your sink, so forget the vertical pipe I mentioned...
You should be safe turning your WM to 'drain' or rinse/drain, and it should start to drain right away. If water starts coursing out, just pull the plug...

I have just braved draining and there was no leakage thankfully! I opened the filter and a bit smelly/dirty but nothing in there at all.

I thought we were talking the same hose but needed to confirm I have two corrugated hoses connecting to my sink.

It's a Beko 742431B washer/dryer.

Next stop is pulling it out...

When it's out, try the quickest wash - don't bother with heat or chemicals. You just want to see when the leak occurs.
You can also check to see if the top cover has obvious securing screws at the back, because it the top comes off, it should be easy to look for possible leak sources.
