Water leak Water is running from under the machine during the wash and rinse cycles. There is no sign of a leak at the fill hose connections, and the drain is not overflowing. How can I find the exact source of the leak? Is it, possibly, something that I can repair myself? Sue Pape [email protected]

Look at fill hoses and water valve for signs of leaking.

You have a bad pressure switch or the small hose connecting to the pressure switch may be bad

If the washer leaks water when is filling only, check the following: 1.Fill hoses
2.The water mixing valve
3.Filling injector ( If your washer uses one )
4.Filling spout

If the washing machine leaks during the wash cycle, check the following:
1.The pump
2.The tub stem & seal
3.Tub to pump hose
4.The drain hose
5.Tub (rusted holes)
6.The drum support bolts

If the washing machine leaks during the spin cycle, check the following:
1.The drain hose
2.The tub cover seal
3.The pump
4.The pump hoses
5.The stem & seal
6.The drum support bolts

What is the model number of your unit?

In the rinse cycle it will use cold only to rinse with.
You need to see how fast the water is going into the machine on rinse
Things that can effect slow fill, low water pressure, Faulty cold valve
water hose & valve filters clogged, Kinked hose

down size the load it sound like you are having splash over problems.

A hose inside the washer is your most likely culprit. On older whirlpool washers they used a plastic hose to run from the pump to the back case of the machine that was pretty susceptible to cracking.

you have a leak in your outlet hose normally caused by rubbing on the drum barrel / repair with tape or replace whole hose but this brand of wASHER ITS VERY HARD TO REPLACE IF DONT KNOW HOW TO

Your hoses are reversed.

HI thanks for your question. the cold water valve either has a clogged screen or a faulty water valve. remove the cold water hose and clean out the screen, try again. could be all you have to do. if its acting the same. replace the water valve. thanks the appliance doc. please rate my answer. thanks.

If water is leaking only during the times when it is supposed to be coming in , then the first places to check are at the hose connections and the hoses themselves. If it continues to leak after the water stops coming in , then you have to look at the drain connection and finally at the drum seal.
