If you have a leaking FRONT LOADER, you will need to remove the lower toe panel under the door and inspect the washer interior cabinet to sufficiently determine where the source of the leak may be coming from. The following link explains how to access and inspect your washer for leaks:

In the majority of the cases with front loaders, the door bellow begins to leak. A routine inspection of the seal perimeter will tell you if there are any rips or tears. If the bellow is damaged, it must be replaced. The following link explains how:

Make sure you throughly check all drain hoses, hose connections, the pump seal and the dispenser hose(s) that penetrate the door bellow.

These problems can easily be repaired without the assistance of a repairman. If you have any questions, please post back and let me know. I hope this helps you.

How can I fix a top load washer that has slow drip from near the laundry soap draw.

if you don't want to spend any money , simply turn the taps off after the wash is finished
I am thinking that the water solenoids have a faulty diaphragm , that is letting the water leak in and replacing that diaphragm would be the fix . to find which solenoid unit is faulty , turn off one tap at a time and see when the water stops running
it is a simple process of undoing retainer screws to the inlet block and removing the rubber bit

I have a Kenmore 110 26912690 washer that has a dripping leak from the bottom front midline area.

DO NOT USE FLEX SEAL !!!!! If you put it in the washer you will destroy the pump and housing. Your door seal has gone bad, replace it$25-40$

Very slow drip from water dispenser. How do I fix

Good day,
A slow continues drip, but still dispenses O.K. is caused by the dual water valve on the bottom rear of the machine not closing completely.
Only fix is replacing the water valve assembly.

My washer leeks water from bottom even when its not running and just sitting there. Seems after a wash the water hasn't totally drained out and then slowly starts leeking, actually alot of water is on the...

Have you checked the clamp on the drain hose? It may need tightening. All washers keep a small reserve of water in the bottom of the basket tank. If your drain hose hook is too high from the top of the washer, that much more water will be held below.

No cold water

Check the strainer in the hose where it connects to the faucet.  If it is clogged it will slow the water flow.  There may also be a strainer at the end of the hose that connects to the washer.

Washing machine water flows out of bottom as it fills and while it washes

The odds are that this means a crack or tear in your rubber boot that seals the bottom of the tank.  This is generally not a DIY repair and the cost of the replacement part can be way more than buying a similar (working) older unit at a garage sale.

It is also possible that some drain hose (or supply hose after the water valve) is dripping and you could find this out by removing the back sheetmetal panel and start filling... watch for where the drip comes from.  If it is one of the hoses, this would be much easier to try to fix.  With the back open you will be able to see all the  possible culprits :)

As a caution, with the back panel removed, the wiring is exposed and could be dangerous if you dont take the necessary precautions.

 

One other test you could do with out opening the back would be to slip a piece of cardboard under the washer after it has been sitting for a while and stopped leaking. Let it sit for a few minutes to ensure there is no leak (slide it out to confirm no leak).  then pour in about a gallon of water carefully into the tank  and see if the leak starts up again.  If so, this pretty well indicates the boot is leaking and you need to 'give your washer the boot'  :)

If it is not leaking , then pour in some more and if still not leaking,  think about opening up the back and finding where the leak is.

Hope this helps!
