Hi,

I have a 15 year old Sears Kenmore Model Series 2891 Heavy Duty 90
Stylemaster 902202 clothes washer

None of these are a model#.

Some model# helps.

that started acting up today. At the
end of the last spin cycle, when all the wet clothes are squeezed and
sticking to the sides due to the centrifugal force of the spin, the is
an inch or so of standing water at the bottom of the tub inside the
washer.

Kinked hose, bad pump, loose belt ( depending on the model/style ) are
soem possible trouble makers.

At the same time, cold water continues to drip heavily,
coming from what appears to be the inner top wall inside the washer. I
would then turn off the cold water faucet outside and the dripping
would stop,

Fill valve sounds like it is not 100% closing and is dripping some
water all the time = new fill valve time. The fill valve is where the
hot and cold hoses are attached to the washer.

but the pool of standing water remains. The I turn on the
cold water faucet again and the leak does not come back. Then I put
another load and the same problem occurs all over again.

I would appreciate any advice as to what the source of the problem is
and whether is is within an average do-it-yourselfer's ability to fix.
