Washing machine leaking

Not worth fixing, might as well get a new one

If it leaks from center underneath it can be as simple as replacing the tub seal .Leaks from rear are usually pump issues .All depends where it's leaking . If unit is over 10 years old , might as well get a new one .

not worth it, buy a new one. How long do you realistically expect this unit to last even if you do repair it?

some possibles:

leak in hose
lose clamp holding hose
seals
lint in drain not allowing it drain freely.
discharge hose not positioned properly
supply hose leaking

If you're lucky, you can usually take off the cover from the front of the washer and take a look under there with the washer running to see if you can see where it's leaking. Some washers need to be moved from the wall to access the internals....if this is the case, start checking discharge hose and supply lines first as that's the easiest thing to check.

IMO I wouldn't replace the washer as it might be a simple inexpensive fix. At 8.5 yrs old, it's not that old and shouldn't need replacing. You can learn a lot (and save a lot) by exploring the problem and solutions.

google leaking washing machine from underneath or just leaking washing machine and you'll see lots of videos on where to start.

Ya listen to gr8dlr, it might be as simple as a leaking hose, I have a 30 year old Kenmore still going strong, had a leak last year and it turned out to be the drain hose connector chaffed through the sheet metal where it comes out on the back of the machine, dont throw it out until your sure its not a cheap easy fix.

Agree with the previous 2 posts. I was in the same boat last month but I knew what the problem was. Had a tear in the door seal. Ended up costing $200 parts & labour (seal would have cost me $160 alone). I watched a video on how to replace it but figured since I'm not "repair inclined" I'd be better off to get a pro to do it. Took him about an hr or so (probably would have taken me 4 or more lol). My folks have had theirs for almost 30 years so these things can last a while. You should be able to find someone to check it out for $50-$75 and most will put that fee towards the cost of repairs if you go with them. Just call around.

Agree with the above 3 posters. Had a 16 yr old Kenmore top load washing machine that stopped moving. Heard motor running, but that was it. Thanks to youtube & Cesar at AP Wagner (now called Marcone) I was able to fix the machine for a whopping $7.

Clogged drain is the likely cause, also could be a hose.

You didn't mention if the unit is a front loader. If so, I expect it is the seal. My sister-in-law has a Maytag that is going on 30 years and works just fine. Our Kenmore Elite units died at 8.5 years....

Debris clogging some filter or something.
