This repair will apply to every brand of front loaders.
If you have a front load washer that is leaking, be sure to check these things in the video first. Most likely you will find your problem there.
I have charged alot of people money over the years for going to their house and cleaning their washer for them, they could have saved a service call just by doing it themselves.

You just saved me a large bill $199.99 . Cleaned out the small ports in my soap dispenser and the leak has stopped. Very Helpful.
I think I may have just fallen in love with you. My front loader is leaking. You gave me a 4 minute video. So often the videos are so long. You just get to the point. I'm going to try these two fixes before calling anyone and you may have saved me money I can't afford to spend on fixing this! Thank you!
Thanks Bill! You provided excellent, easily understood answers. I had a little puddle on my basement floor with each wash. It was driving me crazy. I followed your instructions and things are now dry. I greatly appreciate your advice.
Thanks again for your help Bill. Now helping my mother in law with her leaking washer and your videos are always the ones I go to first. You are much appreciated!
Awesome job. Thank you. I just cleaned out the soap dispenser. You saved me a service call. You're appreciated!
Great repair advice. Cleaning the bottom part of the glass on the inside of the door did the trick. Many thanks!
Hi Bill, Thank you! I believe I had both issues -dirt interfering with seal and possibly dirty soap dispenser. I'm now watching a beautiful drip free load of laundry running. Cheers.
Very practical instructions. Well-spoken. You patiently guide the viewers through several possible problems and solutions. Thanks a lot!
+Randy S Thank you again!
Thank you for your video! This fixed the problem my relatives were having. I was able to fix it with your guidance. Very much appreciated!
This man is a genius. My washer is now bone dry. You saved me a fortune.
I had to come thank you. I have been planning to buy a new washer all week. I was going on my way to buy one today but decided to google a couple things first. Came across your video and was like no way thats the problem. Cleaned both spots and my washer is fixed😭 Thanks so much. You saved me lol
You saved me hundreds of dollars! Thank you for sharing this. It was the fabric softener blocking the water from flowing correctly.
Thanks for the video ! Saved myself buying a new washing machine
Thank you for the video.Really helpful. One more thing to add to this is that even with small amount of hair deposits could cause the leak. That's what I just had. Again, thank you for the helpful tips.
It's amazing how simple maintenance info solves what appear to be catastrophic damage and a humungus repair bill.
We have dogs that shed in the house. There was a ton of hair in the ring area blocking the washer’s drainage area. I removed and cleaned the ring. The washer was able to spin and drain properly. There was a stain where the washer was leaking down the front of the machine . That all stopped once I cleaned those two areas and the drain cup area located in the front of the washer. Appreciate the information!
I pulled my soap dispenser out and I had bar soap stuck in the inlet 🤣. Thank you so much. You saved me a ton of money
Thanks for saving my technician visit fees. My soap dispenser wasn't cleaned from couple of years.
Wasn't even what I was looking for but that is good to know!

Just the info I needed! Thank you for this video! :D Going to clean out my soap dispenser now !
Awesome guidance, you just save my day. Thank for your kindness on sharing, Thank you Bill.
Perfect - just what I needed to know! Thank you for saving me a service call.
Thank you just needed a good cleaning
I wish to sincerely thank you for the video. I had precisely the same leak on my Kenmore washer and because of its age I was ready to buy a new one to avoid the expected repair charges. Thankfully I hit on your video which clearly showed what the problem might be and presto, no more leaks!
Thank you so much! This was super helpful!
Thank you thank you thank you!!!! This video was extremely helpful.
Thank you! You just saved me $80!
YOU are a lifesaver sir. thank you.
I'm very handy. Just need a starting point for troubleshooting sometimes. I KNEW where the leak WASN'T originating and I knew it was on fill-up not spin/drain. YOURS was the ONLY video that showed me the top 2 culprits for this PARTICULAR leak (in place and cycle) ! Going downstairs to FIX it! (then do a mound of laundry the size of a Volkswagen)! Thanks!! I subscribed! (Whatcha got for a garbage disposal that doesn't respond to the reset button??)
Thank you! Saved me a service call!
That's all I needed.
Thank you
Simple fix, but would've cost me thousands in repairs to my floor!! Thank you for all that good info!
Dude you are awesome!!
you just saved me a service call.
Man bill I love you video, you explain everything so well,even a zoo monkey can understand.
As a former zoo monkey,I can confirm this is correct
Yes! Unfortunately, Bill passed away in 2016.
Good information and presentation. More importantly, Good Vibe!
What a pain. thanks a bunch. simple thing such a headache.
Very informative...thanks a lot 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks just sorted mine out by doing this.
Great video lesson! Thank you!
Thanks Bill..hope this does the trick ! You did a great job explaining that !
Nicely done! thank you!
Great video. What about a Whirlpool Duet that leaks underneath the washer, more towards the back? It happens during the rinse cycle, not every time, but when it does it takes 2-3 towels to clean it up.
Hi, did you ever figure this out? I may be having the same problem and same type of washer. Let me know whenever you can. Thank you
Thank you, Bill!!!
Thank you. That was exactly what I needed to do!
thanks. my leak was the dispenser.I cleaned it and it is working perfectly
Love the video was very informative and helpful
Thanks for the tip! Karma boost for sure.
Thanks Bill much appreciated. I have subscribed.
I will give it a go and feedback to you as my washing machine is throwing water from the dispenser.
Life saver! Thank you!!!!
Thanks at first I thought it was coming from the pipes?? When the naibors move out I found that it was coming from the pipes!! Now it's doing it again I now it's not coming from the door cause I replaced that. Now I'm going for that tray like u said cause now I see y there are water drips going down that area. Thanks for the video good to learn how to do it yourself. Thanks
Trying this tomorrow!
THANKS!!! this is a great video!!
THANK YOU!!!! Great video
Nice job. Good info to understand. Thanks
Thanks just bought a GE Profile used for my daughter it has a small leak dripping out the left side I'll give these a try
Thanks 👍
Super helpful, thank you so much!!
Thanks Bill!!! It worked!
Great Job Bill. Cheers
MrMac5150 Thank you Sir!
MrMac5150 mines leaks from the top only when I put washing powder in it
Great Video Thanks.
Great video, my Whirlpool is leaking out the back, there is like a plastic vent on right and left side, the right side vent just squirts out water when it spins ?
Could u tell me what that could be?
Thank you!
Thanks Bill appreciate it :)
I've got a puddle on the left (from the front view). I'll give it a try. I was thinking the pump was leaking but this makes sense. FYI, there was a recall on some Frigidaire pumps that were catching fire, possibly from a leak? This is on some mid to late 2000 models.
My unit is a "Gallery" washer/dryer combo. I bought it used for next to nothing so I expected some problems. But this problem is my fault. The soap loader tray plastic housing is broken inside the machine.
I had to move this gigantic beast myself on a dolly down a hill and it decided to take a left turn on its own. It ended up rolling down the hill in slow motion as I recall, and eventually came to a halt at the bottom. I then had to scour the woods for the flying parts. The mass actually sent parts well over 20-feet away, surprisingly. I never found a couple parts to think of it.
I then managed to lug it in to the lower basement entry where I pieced it back together and it has worked for nearly a year. So the soap tray thing now makes sense. Nobody realized it was there anyhow...But nobody has been told the story of the runaway washer/dryer... Sshhh!
Anyhow, I'm going to "redneck" spray foam the inner tray shut.
@@markfothebeast what a fantastic story :-D
thanks so much
for videos
Great tips
Thanks Bill.. Good advice
Carlo Gambino You're Welcome!
Good to know info thanks.
you awesome.
Thanks Bill
Thank you
Thank you sir!
My brand new Maytag washing machine is leaking from the soap dispenser. Since I’ve only had it a few weeks it’s not leaking because it’s dirty. Any other words of wisdom?
I have a Maytag, I really do appreciate the tip about cleaning the washer. I did that , remove all the soap scum from glass and also checked the holes in the tray. I still had a leaking problem. But further investigating the situation. I notice something strange.there is a plastic duct , it's hard and clear , that had a a seal lodged inside of it. Some how the seal got inside the plastic duct. So it no longer served its purpose in carrying out the job it was made to do, example to stop the water from leaking. I removed the hard plastic duct that's located somewhat behind the tray at the top. By sliding my hands between the soft plastic when you open the door between the barrel that spin and the outer portion of washer fixed the seal on the outside of the piece connected to the washer slide the hard plastic duct over it by giving it a little push. Ran the water and there is no leak on the side nether the front. Working like a gem!!!
Thank you .
You are awesome!
great info thanks!!!
brennanac1 Thanks!
What about if its leaking from the door seal ? do change the seal or just clean the gunk from the door side ?
Hello Bill, For the wiring harness to reattach to the water pump, what if it doesn't have an adapter, but it is two separate wires? Does it matter which way the brown and red wires go back into the pump? I did forget to label when I took it apart.
Hi my candy comfort washing machine is filling up with water ok when I put a wash on but after about 30 seconds it leaks water from what seems like the underneath, anyone have any tips of what it could be? Have cleaned and checked the pipes, filter and door seal
Thanks
Just subscribed. Quick question. Our Samsung washer is dispensing both fabric softener and soap at the same time. Any idea what it could be?

Hi there. I noticed a huge leak after washing my cat blankets. How do I remove the fur that is blocking the drainage? I will wash out the dispenser. Thanks!
Whirlpool Duet. Replaced main boot and fill tube. Absolutely zero funk on bottom of door glass or door backing plate but cleaned anyway. STILL leaks from door. Wondering how to remove the backer plate (WPW10138523) and more importantly how to seal it. Pretty sure it is leaking between plastic door backer and glass dripping onto bottom outside front center of door and front bottom cover panel. Again... No hair or salt precipitates on glass. WT-H?
thanks for saving me 75$:)!
I have a different problem. Its leaking from the spout that's on the door seal even when it's not running?
Hey Bill, great videos, how do I fix a leaking drum on a HE 2 front loader?

Today...i have exactly same problem and same make as well
Fuckin Cars...😂
Thanks for your knowledgeable videos!!😊
Comment on the best way to clean the door seal interface would be useful.
HELP WITH FOIL REPLACEMENT ON TOP OF EVAPORATOR cant find part..
Hi, I have a Magic Chef model RB150TV. I have to replace the Heating coil as mine has a broken glass tube and coil. When I took the freezer bottom off I had a piece of foam under it and under the foam laying on top of the EVAPORATOR coil looks like a heavy duty piece of aluminum foil. That piece of aluminum foil is torn up all over with pieces falling off and holes allover it. I see that it sets directly over were the heating coil is on the other/underside of the EVAPORATOR. DO I RE USE THIS TORN TO SHREDS PIECE OR CAN I REPLACE WITH REYNOLDS ALUMINUM FOIL?? THE OLD PIECE LOOKS LIKE IT IS 3 TO 4 TIMES THICKER THAN HOUSE HOLD ALUMINUM FOIL..WHAT DO I DO?? Do I have to worry about burning a hole through this thinner Reynolds foil? Should I double or triple the layers? I looked for a replacement part but could not find one..Please help…Thanks..
i turn mine on and it instantly fills the dumb and leaks from the middle quite fast after cleaning out the filter its doing this was a burning smell also
My leak is happening from the inside near the detergent area
You know it was great help but it was the wrong year I've got an 07 washer that's just filling up and going out the bottom and that wasn't addressed and I can't clean filters cuz there's no way to clean them I don't have any front comes off
