Initially, remove the top and see if you do have a hose fitted in the top of the drum and that there is a white stain (leak trace) going down on one side. If none of this applies then you have a different model or my info is out of date (likely
).
If it does apply then yes, sealing a leak or replacing a hose is something an amateur could do but
always take the precaution of isolating the appliance from the main electricity while you are working on it..
The heating element would usually blow the fuse the minute it is switched on, typically at the beginning of a wash cycle.
