The water lever sensor/switch is not working and needs to be replaced. IT has a air tube that senses the water lever by pressure. It the tube is clear then the switch needs replaciing,, If they is a clog, clear it and retry before replacing it.

Check to see if the water pump is leaking at the bearing. Check the hoses that connect to the water pump to see if there are any cracks or splits.

This machine has a direct drive pump, in all likelyhood the pump is leaking...unplug machine...pull it out...tip machine on its back so you can access the bottom, if it is the pump there should be water around where the pump connects to the motor, if it is the pump it is a simple process of releasing 2 clips and taking the inlet and outlet pipes off the pump..install new pump the way you took old one off. you can obtain the part from www.repairclinic.com If you would like to give me more details on your dryer i may be able to work out what is wrong with it.

Water pump impeller seal has worn out. Easy fix part is around 50 bucks

check for corrosion or cracks on the outer tub.that might be the only problem.good luck.

about the #1 leak on ken more/whirlpool washers are the pump.it is in the frount middle.you can dry up around washer and slide news paper under it then run load.that will narrow your surch area unless just over filling thats another matter.God bless,tom

sounds to me like you have a hole in your pump
