I have a frigidaire fftw1001pw top load that leaks from the bottom. What could it be?

waste water outfall pipe blocked or kinked..........

cheers

This sounds like a similar fault I repaired on a Fisher Paykell top loader smart drive. It would fill up, start it's wash cycle (you'd hear the engine turn back and forth ) and a second later stop. It turned out that a position sensor on the motor had failed due to a small water leak. I'm unable to find the motor for your model of Frigidaire to see if there is a similar sensor or pick up module though.

Is the pump running. If so it could have something blocking it. The machine won't spin unless the tub is empty.

replace drain hose

Hello msmm50 - Contact a professional so they can properly and accurately diagnose the unit for repairs. Sounds like you have a leak in the drain lines or the water valve.

you have a bad tub seal which is a major repair

Yes, Remove two screws rrom bottom of washer using puddy kinfe release the top panel bysliding in at crack between top panel and body the water pump is at the bottom left and may be leaking from hoses the other posiabilty is the selonid that controls the water inlet may be leaking

remove panel below door and run it. Then you can see if it is the front seal or back at pump. Two screws on bottom of panel to remove it

yes there a seal under the tub ring make sure tub ring has all the snaps in place
