Tub Seal

If the washer is leaking water the tub seal might have a tear or rip and is letting water leak past. The tub seal can be replaced. When the tub seal fails water gets into the tub bearings and usually causes the bearings to go bad also. It is a good idea to replace the tub bearings with the new tub seal.

Tub to Pump Hose

If the washer is leaking water the hose from the tub to the pump might be split or torn. Don't try to cut off the bad piece of hose and stretch it to fit the pump, this will put strain on the remainder of the hose and may cause a sudden and complete failure of the hose which will dump potentially hundreds or thousands of gallons of water onto the floor because the next time the washer tries to fill all of the water will end up on the floor and so the washer will never shut off the valve. Any time there is a damaged hose, replace it completely with the OEM part.

Washing Machine Fill Hose

If the washer is leaking water, check the fill hoses on the back of the washer, this is the most common place for water to leak. If the washer still has the original black rubber fill hoses replace them with stainless steel or some other, more durable hose.

Start with inspecting the entire lenghth of the drain hose for any type of pin hole or abrasions that could be the source of your leak.
If the leak seems to be coming from the inside of the machine, take a putty knife or something similar and insert it between the front panel and the top panel that the lid is connected to about two inches in from the edge of the side panels and you should feel a fastener, push inward or towards the back of the machine, you will have to push hard, this will seperate the top and front panels, lift up on the front panel and remove it, now inspect the inside of the machine and try to locate the source of the leak, you may have to run the washer thru different cycles(fill,drain,spin,etc.) to see the leak source.
Pay close attention to the pump area for the leak, this has been a source of leaks in the past, with a plastic pump housing, they have been known to develope leaks by way of holes worn thru the plastic housing!
GOOD LUCK !

this sounds like the main bearings have worn out (they start to rumble first) when they start to brake up they rip apart the water seals that are between them and the back of the washers drum, and then it starts to leak water, to test them to see if there claped out,,,, open the door and try lifting the top of the drum lightly , if it lifts a bit then drops back when you let go its the bearings going, now spin it by hand and you will here a rumbleing noise or grinding noise, when the washer is running on spin it will sound like the end of the world is coming???? im sorry to tell you this part is not cheep to fix, its 2-3 hours work?

hi there.......the blockage is in the pump housing at the impeller....this will require removing the pump seperating it to remove the blockage...but first..check that the main hose from the tub to the pump is not blocked....

thank u for bringing your probl to our notice.

well, for leaking from the washing machine is mostly a directly result of wear n tear of drain gate rubber washer, try replacing the washer with new one, will solve your problem, or else u can give it to nearest serive center, u'll b delt within an hour.

not a major problem to worry sir.

if my solution has helped u, then plz give a vote as a feedback. thank u.

you can try tightening all the bolts but if that don't cure it then the seal would have to be replaced.you have to take it all apart to get the tub out then take the 30 something screws out seperate the two 1/2's and replace the seal.this is kind of a tough job unless you have the room and patiance to do it.

Sounds like you need a new main seal.

I had the same problem, found a gold jewelry chain gone through the machine and was wrapped around the central spindle on top and part way through the main spindle seal, you should remove the agitator first for a look, I carefully pulled mout the chain with no damage to the seal, you may also need to remove the drum. I looks a big job but is straight forward.
