Default Whirlpool Washer leak problems

still run it, a room without children or pets. Find the leak. You won't fix
the leak until you find it.

some sort of agitatator mechanism which is bolted to the frame. When you've
got the cabinet opened up you should be able to put a level on the tub top..
* *Here's a URL which will help you taker your washer apart though I'd let
the warranty guys do this.

Yes, the only way I see to solve this is to track down where the water
is coming from. Either by leaving the back cover off, etc, or else
by taking it apart when the leak is present. It's intermittent and
waiting for a service call allows it to dry up. If you go at it
right when it's leaking, you will be able to see where the water is
actually coming from.

I tend to doubt it has anything to do with the tub being not perfectly
level. IMO, it would have to be off by a huge amount for that to
result in water on the floor.

Is there any consistency to when in the cycles the water appears?
