We have this 2 year old KENMORE ELITE clothes washer (top loaded). It leaks
from the bottom randomly. The leaks have increased over the last few months
to a point it has become a pain. The leak is from the bottom. I want to fix
this or atleast attempt to fix it. Any ideas! Thanks in advance

Leaks from the bottom? How do you know? Is that like a tire being flat
on the bottom? (Most of the time on those newer washers, leaking water
will end up on the floor no matter where it's coming from.)

First step is to make sure the drain hose loops up above the washer.

Check first for lose hose fittings/clamps. Look for water stains, then
trace back to where they start.

Anything mechanical or that which vibrates eventually does so
sufficiently to loosen fittings, bolts, etc.
