Probably the water pump leaking. It’s a simple job to replace it.

SOURCE: washer leaking out water from the bottom

It sounds like you have a leaking pump. The pump is easy to replace:
#1 Use a shop vac and pull all the water out of the drain line. This will keep you from having to clean up about 1 gallon of water off of the floor.
#2 Lift the front of the machine enough for you to get under and see.the pump just inside the front of the washer.
#3 Lift the 2 retaining clips off of the pump. This will allow you to pull the pump off of the motor.
#4 Remove the 2 clamps off of the hoses.
#5 Install the new pump into the hoses, and reinstall the clamps.
#6 With the retaining clips installed into the motor housing, install the pump.
#7 Attach the retaining clips, and set the washer back on the ground.

You have now replaced the washer pump.

If you have any questions, let me know

SOURCE: Washer leaking water from bottom

MIne did and it was the bleach container on the top that was getting clogged and leaking over, we actually drilled the hole a bit bigger and cleaned it all out and it stopped. I've had to take the whole top of the washer off to do this about 2-3 times now.

Tip the washer onto the front and you will be able to see through the bottom to look for leaks.

Water coming out of the bottom of the machine

Sometimes, what may seem like a washing machine leaking from bottom locations is actually one that leaks slowly from other spots. Slow leaks can accumulate beneath your washing machine making it seem like you have a bottom leak. For more help identifying the exact point of the leak, see Washing machine leaking.

Bottom leaks may be better identified using a newspaper. Just dry the floor and lay the newspaper beneath the washing machine before you test for leaks. Darkened sections map out your water leak. This method is not always foolproof, however. The best diagnosis will come from a qualified service professional inspecting your machine.

If your washing machine is leaking from bottom in the rear, you may need a replacement pump and professional installation. The leak could also be caused by a faulty air dome seal or a hole in the tub. For more troubleshooting steps to tackle that leak, see Washing machine leaking from bottom. I hope that helps!

Water leak ge clothes washer

Replace the anti-siphon valve

Anti-siphon valves prevent water from siphoning back into the water supply. Also known as vacuum breakers, anti-siphon valves are used on washing machines, faucets, toilets, sprinklers and other water sources. A leak on an anti-siphon valve can cause deterioration of the appliance's external components and damage the flooring material underneath the washing machine. Therefore, a leaking anti-siphon valve should be attended to as soon as possible.

Intermittent water on floor

Check the inlet valve hoses, even if inlet is at the back, the water may drip down and flow on the front part on the machine. There you also have the PUMP, a faulty pump may leak intermittently.
Here you get all diagrams and parts for your appliance.

My kenmore front load tumble action washer will not not spin and drain water, it also appers to be water at the bottom of the machine

If the brain senses water in the floor then the machine will shut down. You have to remove the water, and find the leak. The moister sensor keeps your home from flooding should the tub get a terrible leak from a ruptured hose etc. You mission should you decide to accept it Mr phelps is to locate said leak and eliminate it before you have nasty clothes up the kazoo. This message will self destruct in five seconds Good luck Jim. LOL

disconnect the hose on the bottom and see if the seal is good.If it is good, then remove the back panel, start the washer and watch and see what seal is broke and you can visually see the exact spot the water is leaking from.

Washer leaking water on floor

Need to check drain pump and its hose connections. If its not from the drum seal then that's usually where the leaks occur.
