Lasco whirlpool tub leaks. Water runs out on

Lasco whirlpool tub leaks. Water runs out on floor from underneath apron. Had Plumber look at it. He determined it was not leaking from water pipes. Tub is sandwiched between walls. He saw no leak coming from jets on side facing room. No leak from pump. Said it could be from jets on side against wall but of course couldn't see that side. Saw water rolling from under tub out onto floor. no crack in tub. He said it was not a plumbing repair but an appliance repair. Can this be fixed without tearing out walls? Or can jets somehow be plugged so I can at least use tub without using jets?

Sorry, the tub will have to pulled out to find out what is leaking so it can be fixed. There is just no other way UNLESS you can open up the wall on the blind side of the tube. (but its probably and exterior wall...if the house is vinyl sided, it can be done. If brick, you'll have to pull the tub). If you just wanted to convert to a tub only, maybe Bathfitters has an insert solution...

Whirlpool WTW5100VQ2. Think it needs water intake valve it drips inside continuously even when off. Last night during a load it leaked alot from underneath. Is this diff problem or intake valve also?

Sounds like your water valve is leaking. If you shut the water valves off at the wall and it stops then for sure your valve is leaking. The leaking from under the washer could be coming from the pump leaking, overloading, hoses leaking on the connections or a tub seal. I would check the pump first, just tip it back a little and see if you feel water on the pump, it's right up front. This washer is very easy to work on.

My whirlpool ultimate care 2 washer was leaking underneath while running, I removed the back panel and dropped the drain hose to the floor and extended it out the door to the yard and while filling the tub...

The drain hose must be at least level with the top of the actual tub in the washer. The water pump is only bad if it is leaking. If it is leaking from the front you either have a cracked outer tub, but it sounds like your water pump, easy to change out just get the model # and order it through an appliance parts distributor. The cost is about 40 to 50 bucks. good luck!

Leaking water from bottom

Hello there:
If the washer leaks all the time, check these: Hot and cold water fill hoses - Check the hot and cold water hoses from the household plumbing. If either hose is leaking, tighten it or replace it, as appropriate. Main tub seal - The main tub seal is located between the transmission and the outer tub. It's the primary water seal in the outer tub for the transmission-shaft entry point. If this seal leaks, you can see the leak by opening up the machine's main access panel while the machine is full of water with a small amount of detergent in it. The leak appears at the underside of the outer tub, at or near the center. This seal is difficult to replace. You probably should call a qualified appliance repair technician. Pump - If the pump leaks, you can probably spot the leak when the tub is full of water. The pump has two or more black rubber or plastic hoses attached to it and usually has a drive belt that spins the pump. If the pump is leaking, you need to replace it. Outer tub - Over time, the steel or plastic outer tubs can rust, split, or be punctured. If this happens, you may have to replace the entire outer tub-

My jacuzzi bathtub plastics pipes underneath are leaking due to being chewed by rats. So if i fill up the tub to the jacuzzi line holes, water leakes through the chewed pipes on to the wood floor...

no there is no solutions for plugging off the jets so the water doesn't go in them. you will have to pull the tub and repair the lines. no access panel just means you have to dig in!
