Its only 2 1/2 years old and leaking. Is the tub seal hard to replace properly?
Depending on how long you have had it and what the warranty is you can probably get it fixed for free or for cheap! I had the same problem with ours leaking and we just had to replace the rubber seal :) Good luck! I would get a pro to come do it. I used a local small appliance store/repair.
Where does it leak from? A hose may have come loose? As for replacement, complain to your seller.
