The WL42T26CW1 is the large-capacity AquaSmart, and capacity is the thing that shapes its failure pattern. A 4.2 cu. ft. basket full of wet laundry is a serious load for a shaft and bearing set that has already done a decade of service, so leaks that appear from underneath the cabinet on this model are worth checking at the shaft seal before anyone assumes a split hose.
