Not all time but about ever 5 loads my washer dumps water from the bottom of the machine onto the floor, app 1 gallon. I checked the drain line & the supply hoses & they are good. Why is this an intermitten problem & how do I fix the problem?
Is it the bottom or coming out the door at the bottom? When your seal is bad it will leak, mine leaks only on handwashables and delicates. I have had to have my seal replaced twice in the three years i have had one, and the last seal was not put on right and leaks.

The first thing to check is the bellows, also called the front seal. Look for any tears, if any found, that would be your problem. If not, then the next thing is to take the top off the machine by removing the screws in the back of the upper part of the machine and checking the lines that run from the water valve to the dispenser.
We have the same model. We plan to purchase a replacement washer, and tank size is a major factor.
Machine manuals are available at www.whirlpool.com. It's great Whirlpool has the docs available online, but there was no indication of tank volume for this model found in the manuals: Parts, User, Instructions.
I decided to figure it out by filling the washing machine tank manually counting the number gallons of water dumped in. I managed to dump in 23 gallons before risking overflow. I don't recommend this approach since the specified water level limit for the tank assembly may be lower than the perceived water level limit. This volume test was performed on a machine that's being disposed.
Google says 1 US gallon is equivalent to approximately 0.1337 cubic feet. Applying this ratio to the number of gallons poured in, the volume is 3.08 cubic feet. If 24 gallons, then 3.21 cubic feet.
I'm sure the tank is not 4.0 cubic feet since that would have required another 7 gallons of water, beyond the 23 already poured in, making a mess on the floor, and potentially wetting machine wiring and other hardware that should remain dry. Even if we account for the space occupied by the agitator, it's unlikely an additional 7 gallons of water could be added without significant overflow.
4.0 cubic feet is approximately 30 gallons.
We're going on the assumption our LXR9245EQ2 washer is a 3.2 CF machine.
Sounds like you have a bad water pump. Remove the hose going into the water pump and coming out of the pump and the pump should pull directly off the shaft check to make sure it spins freely.
If you take off the front panel in the VERY back you will see a hose, that hose has seemed to have come disconnected, there is a valve back there that is just slips onto. This will stop your water leak
happy new year,,,ready time to go to work..first open the door and see if you have a pin hole in your bellows,,that the big rubber gasket around door.....use a flash light,,next check the dispenser water if pressures to high it will splash over and run down inside of unit,,you wont know until it hits the floor...now greg,,this is a touch hard,,i want you to unplug unit and remove toe panel...there 3 .1/4 in,,screws,,now check your pump,,you have a birds eye veiw of any water marks...im here if you need me..
hi thanks for the question i would remove the front panel 2 screws on each side at bottom that's where the water pump is located you could have a pump problem thanks the appliance doc
I JUST FOUND THE LEAK ON MINE JULY 5. THE DISCHARGE HOSE ON THE BOTTOM SLOWLY ROTTED THROUGH. THIS GOES FROM THE TUB TO THE DISCHARGE PUMP. ABOUT $9-10 ONLINE- BE SURE TO FIND AND DOWNLOAD THE PDF SERVICE MANUAL. TELLS YOU HOW TO TAKE THE MACHINE APART THE RIGHT WAY.
