Kenmore front Loader washer leaking from bottom

My Kenmore front Loader started leaking from the bottom during a rinse cycle - I have already had to replace a valve in the back - What could this be?

  • Anonymous Jun 07, 2010

    Enough to make my Floor wet along the side of the washer- it drains off the pedestal. I use HE liquid detergent. Do not have a softener

I want you to run an empty load, pour 3-4 cups of white vinager into the soap dispencer, this will flush out detergent buildup, it sounds like the unit has a buildup of soap and is oversudsing, the vinager wash will stop it from happening, if this stops the problem cut the amount of soap you are using in 1/2. If it does not let me know, good luck

My Fisher and Paykel washer is leaking water from bottom back right side in the rinse cycle. Any thoughts?

Question edited to correct name of maker, (Fisher PayPal :>)
Question moved to one of their categories.

No clue to whether a top loader or a front loader, which is why we ask for full 'make model (what it is)'.

If it is only in the rinse cycle, and if it is a front loader it is likely to be spray of a crack in the box that is the detergent drawer and fabric softener mixer. The only way to find out is to remove the top after a wash and look for where the water came from.

Some other ideas here

Where is the lint trap on the front loader

There is no lint trap. There is a coin catcher on the pump. The design of the wash action on a front loader is such there is less lint than on standard machines. One of the bennies of the design.

Leaking from bottom of washer

Do you have the little door at the bottom to collect lint and stuff that goes through the washer? I had a leaking problem once when I simply didn't tighten it enough. Check that.

Check your exit hose spigot, it may be clogged. This is if your filter is all clean. There should be air for passage in the standpipe behind. Your hose should not fit airtight into the standpipe and neither too deep into it. Snaking out your standpipe would be good too.

Rate me pl.....if helped.
