Leaks water onto floor in front of washer after spin cycle, help
Washer leaks after spin cycle 3 out of 5 times water comes from underneath washer not door area thanks is this a common problem?
this is a 2002 kenmore front load washer #417.42142100
I have the exact same problem. I have had people come out and look atmine on three different occasions. In each one the washer wouldn't actup and they would say there was no problem but I was charged for theirtrip each time. I was shown that it was not leaking from the tub andthat the seal in the front was not torn and told that there was nophysical way that it could leak. It does continue to leak badly on 1 -2 out of 3 wash loads. Has anyone any idea what is going on? I have the exact same problem.

Same problem hre also. But with a new twist, Now , after this last load of clothes, a SPRING popped out from behind the black door gasket.

Water does not leak from underneath while washer is in use. It leaks a little (from underneath) a day after I've done laundry. Then it will leak a little more a day or two after that...and then leak again a few days after that. I find maybe about 3/4 of a cup of water on the floor each time I find a leak.Water does not leak from underneath while washer is in use.

Re: leaks water onto floor in front of washer after spin...
Open the door though, put your hand around the rubber boot assy, run *** all aroundlooking for small tears, and or holes, if so replace it. only other thing to do is remove the lower access panel and watch it spin a load and youll be able to detect where te waters coming from

https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid... Feb 3, 2010 - During drain and spin only A washer that leaks only during the spin cycle often has a leak in the main drain hose. ... It happened to us due to over loading. ...something can get betwen the two tubs it this all fails your tub seal is ...
Hi you need to identify where the water is coming from three main places are 1: pump seal 2: a hole in the drain hose 3: Main bowl seal my advice is turn it off at the wall lean it over and have a look underneath and clean floor area. does the base of the main motor look clean if yes its probably not the main bowl seal. So its down to the last two if your models got the plastic removable cover on the front its easy to remove it and watch where the water is leaking from my "guess" is a pump seal you will see it drip/ splash of the pump fan during drain/ spin cycle Be very careful to turn off at wall as there is voltage around these things even when power is off at the machine panel
this is either the front seal that goes from the outer tub to the front of the washer or a hole in the outer tub itself or one of the hoses underneath the seal and the hoses are easiest to check you can take a cup of water and slowly pour it into the front seal. take care not to overfill it to where it spills into the tub and see if you are getting water on your floor from that. the hoses tip the washer up onto its back and look at them from the bottom for any cracking etc. the tub itself can only rust out on some of the neptune models or on others is plastic and can get punctured. just have to look for damage with a light and a mirror.
you can remve a few screws(3) across the bottom of the unit.( just above your "add-on" drawer. 3 torx 20 screws and after removing the acess panel youll get abetter look as to where exactly you water is coming from
happy new year,,,ready time to go to work..first open the door and see if you have a pin hole in your bellows,,that the big rubber gasket around door.....use a flash light,,next check the dispenser water if pressures to high it will splash over and run down inside of unit,,you wont know until it hits the floor...now greg,,this is a touch hard,,i want you to unplug unit and remove toe panel...there 3 .1/4 in,,screws,,now check your pump,,you have a birds eye veiw of any water marks...im here if you need me..
If the hoses at the back are not leaking, you need to check the drain hose lines, aksi check that the machine is not dripping from the inlet valve hose, or because of a leak from the door gasket.
take the front panel off, two screws at the bottom of the front panel, probably a 5/16 nut driver will work. You will need a flash light. partially fill the washer with water and then turn it to spin.
Look up underneath the tub and see where the water is leaking from. If its coming from above the bearing you need a seal job.
Bearing, seal kit, not cheap, how old is the machine, time to buy a new one?
looks like you have to replace the RUBBER SEAL thats inside the tub at the center post , try this , remove the panel so you can see inside , put the washer to fill w/ water , and watch closely underneath the tub wheres the transmision is connected , and watch for LEAKS . hope this info helps
