Take the front panel off of the washer, and run it through a cycle. Watch to see where the leak is coming from. Also, pay attention to the drain in the wall when it is in spin/drain. If this has a blockage in it, it might be backing up causing water to come back out of it.

If you see no leaks the next time you run it, it's possible that it splashed over while spinning because of the off balance load and may not happen again unless it becomes off balance again.

Why does my estate whirlpool corporation heavy duty super capacity washer sounds like it is off balance in spin cycle and walks across the floor and loud noise

because it is off balance , the feet needs to be adjusted as your floor may not be perfectly level,,, take a level and see what direction it appears to be off .. do this on all four sides . example , if the back right is low then you need to turn the foot to raise that corner and so on. use an adjustable wrench .

I'm just a tentant asking a question before calling maintenance. Is the agitator suppose to only turn in one direction? I thought it was suppose to be a back and forth movement. This model is a...

You have a 2 part agitator.
The bottom portion moves back and forth. The upper corkscrew moves clockwise only,pulling the laundry down and around the tub.

Kenmore Heavy Duty 70 Series Leaking in the back

If you bought a new washer and you still have a leak, i guess it was not the washer but where it drains into. Sink or stand pipe has a leak. unless you are useing the old drain hose from your old washer. Dry up everything and look for the sorse of water with a bright light when the washer drains .

Kenmore Heavy Duty Washer Leaking from bottom

Probably the drain pump seal has gone bad.
Check it for leaks.
If your floor is good and level look for water near the front center of the machine.

Kenmore washer out of balance

go to sears.com and find the parts listing for the 110 model number you have listed above .http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/retrieveModelActionHome!retrieve.action;jsessionid=8mJfynqZfmsdSyTnd9kaQw**.shcapp3005?modelNumber=110.16502694+&pop=flush

You might need one of the springs. unplug the washer and take the cabinet off first. look around for broken or missing parts
