- Questions are great where do i began....Yes the hose to the bleach dispenser has been replaced, the tub ring and the fabric softner dispenser have all been replaced. The washer still continues to leak after every wash cycle. It shows up on the floor after the entire cycle has run its course. As to the location of the leak thats the million dollar question I think its leaking from somewhere closer to the front. The water amount is sometimes quite a lot and sometimes not so much. Always enough to show up on the side of my machine and run under my sink. Major pain. Maybe you can help so far no one else has been able to.

- My washer is still under warranty and the service guy will be here on July the 8th. If you can believe that this machine is under a year old and has already had 5 service calls. Only one service tech has taken the back off the machine and looked anywhere other then under the rim. I will mention this possible solution and see what happens. Is the hose located in the back or toward the front of the machine? And why does it wait for the tech to leave before it starts to leak again! Thank you so much for all the info I'll let you know what happens.
Hi, Did they check the pump seal or the hoses. Does it seem to leak from the front center? Is it leaking while filling or during agitation or spin cycle? Are you getting water every load and is it a little water or a lot?
Please forgive all the questions, I have to ask.
Questions I need to ask in order to assist you as best I can.

- There is a hose that runs from the side of the tub to the water level switch that can get a hole and leak.
Here is instructions on how to remove the cabinet. You can run the washer full of water and see if the leak appears.
Removing the cabinet. UNPLUG the washer. There are two screws holding the control panel to the cabinet. Most models the screw are in front but, some models have the screws in back. They are on each end. Now raise the control panel up and let it rest on the hinges. Unplug the lid switch harness and locate the clips on each side (bronze in color) and release them.
Now the cabinet will lift off the frame and you can set it aside.
I hope this helps you. Let me know please.

- I hope they can help you this time.
Without the model #, I am not sure on the style/make of washer you have. The solution of taking the cabinet might not apply to your machine. Most top loads have the cabinet I described.
Good luck and thank you for letting me know.
Please feel free to rate my responses to you so that others as well as myself know how I am doing.
