#Washer #Leak #HowToFix
Thanks so much. Going to take mine apart tomorrow and check it out. You are a BIG HELP. A different UA-cam channel said if you had a leak - it could be a sign of a serious problem and best left to the professionals. Then he proceeded to tell you how to clean up the water on the floor. I’m sticking with you. All of these things you showed us don’t seem so serious. Heck, I’m a 67 yo woman and I’ll update you all when I fix my own washer tomorrow!!
We're you able to fix your washing machine? I'm hoping to do the same. 😊
My 28 year old GE Washer, which has never had any maintenance other than the main timer switch and occasional cleaning, started leaking from the bottom yesterday. I thought well, it's probably the tub seal or something serious. Even started looking online at prices of new washer and dryer sets. Ran across your video, popped the front off of the washer in about 4 seconds. I found where the bleach dispenser hose had merely come loose at the bottom air pressure canister or dome as they call it. (surprised they don't clamp these!) That's all it was! the bottom of the tub and all components looked almost new! the drive belt even looked to be in great shape! Thanks for posting this very helpful video. BTW, I don't know about the recent model GE washers, but they made a quality machine back in 1996! Thanks again!
Thank you I don't know how many videos I watched and the men didn't have the gift of teaching. You do! Thanks a bunch.
Thanks for watching 👍
Man who knew Colonel Sanders also fixes washing machine. Just kidding actually this ol' dude is pretty cool.
Thanks👍
Yup, saw the thumbnail and was 😳😳😳
It is a good 5 days since I reported my washing machine leaking. I have run several loads since then and not a drop of water has leaked. Time will tell for me, I guess. Other videos only showed the water pump was the problem. Your video showed other places could cause water leaking. Yours is the best video I have seen. Great job sir.
No problem! Have a nice Saturday

Thanks for watching. Happy to help.
Thank You so much for the video. My water controller does not make any sound. I have a Kenmore 800..I cannot find the Part No. W10248240 Rev C......Does anyother controller Rev letter work???
Thanks Harold. I'm on a tear into it and see if I can fix it.. Leaking water on the floor.
Question - My 30+ yr old Kitchen Aid washing machine is leaking somewhere underneath. But, it does not leak every time. I think (though I'm not positive), that it leaks when I run a large load. I had a leak today, cleaned the floor, and then ran a medium load later in the day, and it did NOT leak?? Seems weird that it floods the floor sometimes, and other times it doesn't. I have checked the drain tube, and it's not that. The flooding comes out from underneath the machine.
How do you take apart a newer model apartment size washing machine the plastic cavity is it all connected the same as the metal washers
All machines are different. They hide the screws from the home owners. You can look up your machine on the internet to see how to take it apart. Good luck.
No mention of tub seal or shaft seals, the most common cause of leaks.
He looks like colonel Sanders from KFC great job I love the videos very helpful thank you
Thanks for watching 👍 I hope you subscribed.😄
This video is helpful. Where is the diaphragm? Is it difficult to change?
Thanks for watching 👍. You will need to change the whole switch. The diafram is built in the switch. Good luck.
@@HaroldJackson Thank you for replying quickly.
Thank you sir for showing me how to check for leaks. For some reason, I am also craving some KFC right now. =)
You're welcome! Thanks for watching and have an Awesome day.
very nice but missing drain hose, pump and central column leaking, can you add on?
Looking for a leak on a washing machine can be a nightmare. I had a massive puddle from my Hoover Electron and it took me forever to find it. It turned out to be from a small pinhole on the tub.
Thanks for watching 👍 Glad you found the leak.
@@HaroldJackson Thank you, Harold. Take care.
What if the water is coming out as soon as it's going in?... no visible leaks from the pumps or hoses.
Sounds like a drain hose is too low or it's not connected properly.
@@HaroldJackson just jumped the switch in order to get a better look and the very bottom of the drain hose had about a 2 inch split in it... lol you video did help me ruling some possible leak locations! i thank you!
@@HaroldJackson sub'd
Hi have an whirlpool top loader and I notice water at the bottom in the front of the washer could you tell me what might be the problem? I have no problem with overflow it washing fine I just notice the water on the floor it wasn't that much water
My man Colonel Sanders giving out the best repair advice when he's not running KFC! Thanks Colonel!!
Thanks for watching and have an Awesome day 😊

i've got my little magic chef torn completely apart. was told it's the seal. nope. seal looks great. for the life of me, no idea where that water's coming from. it's really leaking, like filling the bathroom up in 10 mins. leaking! the water comes out at the front of the washer only.
Sounds like the water pump. Thanks for watching and have an Awesome day.
I find Samsung to make the best washing and drying machines. My Samsung machines are 9 years old and still running strong.
My Whirlpool is 14 years old and still working.
Mine is 53 years old and still working👍
My 4 year old Whirlpool has an occasional small leak from the bottom. It seems to only leak (about 1 cup of water) when the bedding setting is used. I find some water on the front of the metal cover at bottom and some water is on the tube and water pump but its only on that setting. I make sure its not overloaded. Any ideas?
It sounds like the splash guard around the top of the tub may have come loose.
What about the pump leaking? How do you check? Or hoses leaking?
Pump leak on this machine will be in the front. If the hose is leaking the washer will keep filing with water. Good luck and have an Awesome day.
@@HaroldJackson Thank you. I just find water now and them. Took her all apart and everything is dry under neath. Hoses and all check out fine.
When I find the small leak, it is directly in the center under the washer, not the front. Easter Sunday there was much water on the floor after washing items the kitties sleep on. Now, I have ran several loads of items the kitties do not sleep on, no leaks. I didn't have any water leaking until I started washing covers, blankets that the kitties sleep on. The dryer has a bunch of cat fur in the lint filter. Could cat fur possibly be blocking drainage from the washer and causing a slow drainage of water and causing the water leaks? Thank you, Mr. Jackson for your help.
@@elcidlord that sounds like a center seal leek. Not easy to fix. It takes special tools to remove the tub nut. Good luck.
@@HaroldJackson Thank you. I had the same thought about the tub seal. Yes the video shows you need a spanner wrench to remove the tub nut.. Thankfully I have one and it is a job I can/did do if it comes to that. I did have my last washer where it was the tub seal and I replaced it= no leaks.
If it leaks underneath the drum what to do?
It can be fixed. But it would probably be cheaper to get a new washer.
Thank you Brother! Are you related to colonel Sanders?
That's me!
@@HaroldJackson great video! I like you being able to take a joke! My best buddies in the navy were from the south! Keep up the good work!
Mine only leaks on a full load. Fine on medium or small. Suspect that hose might be the problem. Or maybe the tub.
Could be the seal under the plastic ring on top of the tub. Good luck and have an Awesome day.
Where can I get one of those shirts?
Thanks harold I'm trying to become an appliance repairman, what training or school do u recommend
I can answer that! 1st thing get a License for your company. 2nd set up accounts at all the Appliances parts houses you can find to get the best price on parts. Hopefully one of the parts houses will have weekly training for Techs that have accounts at there stores. The best one around Orlando Florida is Marcone Appliance Parts (877) 682-9147.
So the SPECIFIC problem you're talking about is if the machine OVERFLOWS on filling? Which would be completely different from leaking onto floor on DRAINING, right?
If the hose is leaking it will just keep trying to fill. So if the hose has a hole in it it will leak on the floor.
@@HaroldJackson Hi Harold! I'm not sure if we're talking about the same thing. Your problem was overflowing on FILLING, right? But my problem is that the machine leaks when it starts to EMPTY, and only then. So I'm thinking those would be two very different hoses, right? Or even the drain pump shaft seals.(Oh, sometimes, rarely, it may leak INTO the tub, I think, that is, put a little water into the tub when not in use, so I turn the water off to the machine in between use, but I don't think this has anything to do with leaking onto floor when draining.)
It depends on where it's leaking from. Some machines leak when they spin if the machine is out of balance. I would check the drain hose. And clean the drain pipe the hose is connected to. What kind of machine is it?
@@HaroldJackson Very good responses! Thank you! I hadn't really thought about leaking from spinning at all. I do see what looks like stains on bottom of drain hose from bottom of tub, and around that connection to the tub, but not sure that's problem area, and haven't tried to watch it with back off when it dumps. It's a very old GE Heavy Duty Large Capacity, WWA8364V JLWH. model.
You know about it all! From KFC to washing machines
I was looking for this lolol
Where is the pressure switch ?
It's up on the control panel. It's calf water level settings.
I never knew Cornell Sanders had a son.
What if it's not overflowing? Just when it starts to wash it leaks, turn the machine off with water in the tub, it stopped leaking, turn it on it starts leaking again
Try washing a smaller load and put the machine on low water level and see if it's still leaking.
@@HaroldJackson 4 pair of jeans on regular cycle, would the seal or pump make it do that? I was thinking if it was the seal or pump it would leak all the time. Only leaking on the wash cycle tho 🤔
@@mikeharris8365 I would try a small load and see if it leaks. That will tell a lot.
@@HaroldJackson Ok, just getting this water out of it, I will try a small load tomorrow,

But can he cook fried chicken 🤔
Yes he can!
The title is wrong. Should be "How to check for OVERFLOW problem" NOT LEAKS.
There are other videos about LEAKS.
Thumbs down for wasting my time.
