I have a portable Kenmore washing machine that is leaking from the place on the machine where you attach the hose. I have it attached as tight as possible and have even replaced the hose attachment and it still leaks. Would plumbers tape help? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciate! Thank you!

Your leak could be coming from the rubber door seal. Inspect all the way around the rubber seal paying particular attention to the areas behind the rubber seal where it meets the wash tub. They wear with age and can develop small holes. When they start leaking it appears like water coming from under the machine. I hopes this helps.

Our rubber seal was torn and we had a Sears repairman replace it - he said it required a special tool to install it (which he didn't have) but through some long and physical process, he was finally able to get it on.
