Is the hose from the soap dispenser to the outer drum damaged at all? You may need to remove it from the soap dispenser and/or drum to fully inspect it. If it is holed the pressure exerted by the forces in the drum before the spin cycle when the drum still has not emptied prior to spinning will cause water to gush through the hole hence your floods.
email me on andyparkin58@hotmail.com if this works/or it does not and you require further assistance.
