Does anyone have the part number for the coupler?

First check is the standpipe drain. The hose that comes from washer should not be inserted more than 4". More than that can cause a syphoning situation that can cause leaks from beneath. If that seems okay you will have to see where water is coming from by observing the machine in action with back or bottom service panel removed (if it has one.)

Did u make sure that ur clothes were not near the door lokc

Depends on what you mean by continious flowing, if it is flowing even when the machine is shut off then one of the intake valves may be stuck open. If it is continiously flowing in when filling up and wont stop you more then likely have a problem with the pressure switch not switching off, so have a look at the tube to the pressure switch. If this has been rubbing on the outer drum it may have come off the switch or put a small pin hole in it causing loss of pressure up to the switch. Only a thin tube that runs from the bottom of the drum to the switch.

Look inside the door to the gray rubber ring gasket thingy. Pull apart the sides and look in. Betcha a dollar to a donut there's mold in there. It's a gross, nasty problem whirlpool customer service doesn't give a damn about.That's where water sets after wash cycles. There are tablets call "Affresh" which can be run with hot water for a cycle to attempt to clean out the mold/mildew. Not cheap, not fair, and probably will only be a start to a maintenance type cure if you've had the washer for awhile. May take some manual labor with bleach as well. NOT a sanitary washer. This is an unbelieveable problem with a washer. Piece of ****.

Are you talking about the door boot?

possible it could be the brushes in the motor

All you need is the thrust bearing kit. It will cost less then $50.00 and take about 30 minuets to fix. Here is a link to the kit you need.Below is a video to walk you thru the process.

Sounds like possibly a bad control board.Try to unplug your washer for 5 minutes then plug it in and run a load and see if it still does it.If not, you will need to replace the main control board.

Take the back off and the belt can easily be installed HOWEVER if the tub bearing is shot the belt will not stay on. If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/dan_73bbd84fe1d95b61

Look on Craigslist or ebay for broken washers that are the same as yours (as long as they don't have the same problem) and purchase parts from it or the whole thing for cheap. Otherwise, some city's have appliance "junk yards" that you can get parts from.

If it is a front loader, then remove the rear panel, remove the belt, and soin drum by hand, if it feels rough, or is noisy and rumbling, then the main drum bearings have failed.
This is a major repair.

hi adriana it is possible there is still water in the drum if that is the case the door wont open untill you empty it,this can be done by draining the water through the filter drain located at the front of the machine ,i hope this helps .

hmm could be a belt, or motor or both or the cpu not sending juice to the motor.... any other details you could give me would be helpful
