LG Front Load Washer Leak!

Ok folks, this is a nightmare for the homeowner. These are some pictures of a LG washer model # WM2050CW that has a bad tub seal. The seal failed causing water to leak out the back of the tub, spraying a rusty colored stain, and causing the shaft bearings to fail. The repair for this would be between $600-$1022. Whew!
