The Kenmore (elite) washer has been leaking at the end of the wash cycle and
at the end of the rinse cycle(s). The leak is from either the washer bottom
to the pump or the pump to the. I placed dry paper towels around these two
joints and determined that the entry to the pump is leaking.

I have checked all the hoses and removed and reconnected them after cleaning
some of the white sludge. No improvement.

Any ideas?
