Washer Is Leaking

A leaking top loader is not a difficult problem. By far the most common source is a Whirlpool Direct-Drive pump leak.

However, there are many other situations that must be handled case by case. Go to specific Uncle Harry Videos to view opening your model and take a good look around. In most cases, it is best to duplicate exactly what the customer is or was doing. Open the machine and run it.  It might be as simple as an oversuds condition or as serious as a bad main seal. It might even be rain water or an overflowing standpipe.

 Hoses, pump seals and main seals are the main problems. Once is a blue moon a hole will develop in the outer tub.
