Washer leaks from bottom as soon as it starts filling with water

More than likely if the machine is leaking as soon as you turn it on the seal in the bottom of the tub is gone. Machine will have to be completely disassembled to repair.

There are 2 green clips between the top of the unit and the front panel. (you can use a flash light to find them easier). Push on the with a putty knife or small flat head screw driver while lifting on the top. Once the top is open, you will find 2 5/16 screws that hold the front panel on at the top on the right and left hand sides. Once these are removed, you can tilt the front panel forward and see where the water is leaking from.
