• The Fill Funnel is cracked
• The water inlet valve is leaking
• The pump is leaking
• The Lower Tub Boot Seal has a hole in it.
• The clamps for Lower Tub Boot Seal have broken or come loose.

If the clamps have come loose, we recommend using a special 3m industrial sealant when putting the tub boot and clamps back on. If you use this type of sealant, the tub boot seal will not come off again.

• The drain hose is cracked
• The House drain is backing up
• The Outer tub has a hole rusted in it
  • This happens on the older style washers. The outer tub is stationary, the inner tub moves around during the spin cycle. What happens is the washer gets an out of balance load and the inner tub hits or scraps the outer tub, knocking or scraping the porcelain off the inside of the outer tub. Once this happens the tub starts to rust and eventually rusts a hole through the tub. This usually occurs towards the top of the tub at the left rear corner.
• The seal around the top of the tub is leaking. ( We recommend using a 3m industrial type sealant on the top tub seal. If you use this type of sealant , you will not have a problem with that seal leaking again.

• Replace the water inlet valve.

• Check the washer feet. They sometimes come loose or even rust off.
• Check the flooring under your washer. If it's on a weak floor such as just about any wood floor it may shake or walk.
