Kenmore washer leaks water,

Check the washer tub area. Look for signs of rust or drips along the side of the basket to localize the issue. The drain hose could be leaking. There is also a gasket below the agitator assembly. The other place that could leak is the fill hose (between the inlet valve and the washer fill nozzle at the wash tub).

The parts diagram for the washer basket and tub is here: https://www.searspartsdirect.com/model/3ukf427wcw-000582/kenmore-11092274100-washer-parts . See the rear panel diagram for the location of the fill hose.

I hope this helps.

You have what they call a direct drive washer. If you look at it from underneath you will see the motor then the transmission and then the water pump. I have seen socks get sucked into those pumps and lock everything up. Two clips hold the water pump onto the transmission. Pop the two clips off and slide the pump off of the transmission and tuck it out of the way somewhere. DO NOT DISCONNECT THE HOSES! If you do and the tub is full of water then you will soak yourself and the floor in water. Now with the pump tied out of the way plug in the washer and turn it on, let it fill up if it is empty. If the washer tub starts agitating after it is filled then it means that there is something in the pump. When I have those pumps fail they still work but just leak, they never locked up on me unless it was a sock or something. Drain the water if you determine it is the pump, remove the pump and see if there is a sock in it and if you can fish it out. If not buy a new pump. They are $30-40. They usually clog from overfilling the washer and the clothing slips between the inner and outer tub.

If removing the pump doesn't allow the washer to work then the transmission is suspect or the tub itself.

could pressure hose to pressure switch has come off at tub air dome near bottom rear of tub

Possibly your problem is the tube that tells the machine when the water is full. It may be blocked.

put it into rinse cycle if it emptys then suspect the heater curcuit

That is a bad water valve. Try my washer PICTORIAL for directions on replacing that water valve. NOTE: this is a pictorial of how to replace your drive coupling but you need to bust this ****** loose to get to that valve.

Leaks water...check the pump first. The fill valve and hoses may be the next step. See how to take apart info. With the use of plastic drain hoses on many machines today, this has become a common leak trouble maker. The drain hose can rub the wall or a pipe and this will rub a hole in the drain hose.

Check your pump and drain for a blockage.
You also could have a timer connection issue. Remove the timer wire connectors and reattach them.The timer simply has a quick connection block, sometimes they get a little loose and all you gotta do is push it all the way back in. Check for a loose lid hinge and safety switch also.

leaking while the washers off is a normal problem.check for corrosion or crack on the outer tub.
check the water supply connections and the drain hose.also make a check for the tube seal and tube bearing.these are the only possibilities for a water leak.
