RUBBER RING INSIDE THE WASHER

First to find the leak , most likely a rubber hose or water pump.

If your washer is leaking from the connection where the hose and the hose end join, replace the hose. If it's leaking from where the hose attaches to the washer, check and see if there is a rubber washer inside the hose end, there should be, try replaceing the rubber washer inside the hose end,

The rubber came loose and the metal ring that holds it came off. How do I reinstall this ring?

I use this tool to remove and replace the spring.

There are three common areas where it could leak. The internal hoses connected to the water valves can leak. They have a rubber o-ring inside that can wear out. The tub could crack, or the tub seal can leak. Remove as many panels as needed to gain access to inside of the machine too see which one of those are leaking.

Should be rubber washer inside hose if its one that screws onto faucet or an o-ring

Check the door boot (typically grey rubber bellows looking ring around the door opening that keeps the water in the tub from leaking) for cuts.

If there is water leaking from under the washer, then you have a water leak from one of your water hoses. Check the back of the washer, where the water comes into the washer, to see if its leaking water or the hose is cracked. If its leaking water from the intake hose, then unscrew the hose and check the rubber washer, to see if it needs reolaced. Sometimes those rubber washers get cracked or broken. If that doesn't help, unplug your washer from the power cord and unscrew your intake water hoses and flip the washer gently on it's side and check the water hoses under the washer for leaks or cracks. Replace the hoses if cracked. Your local hardware store should have replacement hoses. This should solve your problem, but if not, then you need to call a washer repair person to look at it. I hope this helps.:)
