I have a Inglis by Whirlpool washer and it has been leaking water. The water runs forward toward the front of the machine. What do I need to fix this?

could be 2 thigs the outer platic tub is broken or transmission or transmission seals are gone, go on line and see how to fix is very easy work on these machines.

Search "Whirlpool Direct Drive Cabinet", or just have a look at this:

How to Disassemble Whirlpool Kenmore Direct Drive Washer

If it is leaking all the time while running it could be the drain pump. A coin had made its way into mine and cracked the housing. Itis located towards the right rear of the machine on the bottom, while standing in front of the machine.

Scrub the glass on your door and the rubber boot. This works in almost every case. The washer gets a build up of scum on these parts and doesn,t allow a tight seal. In rare instances you have to replace the rubber boot. Good Luck, Appliance Specialists.

seems like no one wants to send you any love Richard. Well fear not, if you haven't figured this out yet, I'll do what I can. It seems to me that you have the drain hose lower than the top of the wash basket or a hole in that hose. If the drain hose is too low, the water will run out of the machine due to low center of gravity. Ideally, 6" above the level of the tub is sufficient. If there is a hole in that hose, replacement is pretty straight forward.

water pump?

Leaks water...check the pump first. The fill valve and hoses may be the next step. See how to take apart info. With the use of plastic drain hoses on many machines today, this has become a common leak trouble maker. The drain hose can rub the wall or a pipe and this will rub a hole in the drain hose.

lean washer back against wall ck pump under front in center for leaks or dark gray area in pump face remove hoses remove clamp top and bottom of pump slide forward off shaft

facing the washer locate the two screws. They will either be in the front or rear of the control panel and back them out far as you can. Once you have done that pull the control panel slightly forward, and tilt it back on the hinges. Now unplug the lid switch wire but don't forget to plug it back when your done. Next locate at the rear of the washer body the two gold clips then push forward, and take careful note of how they fit. Then pop them out with a screw driver tilt the washer body forward at 45 degree angel and walk forward with the body, and set it down.
