Water coming from under my clothes washer?

We just bought a house and this morning I was washing clothes and water came from under the washer. Doesn't make any weird noises, runs just fine. I have never dealt with this before.Water coming from under my clothes washer?
could be the feedhose from wall leaking or your seals in the washer pump. also the waste line. you should call a plumber if you've never dealt with this before. good luck :-Water coming from under my clothes washer?
|You will need to take a panel off to look inside to see where it is coming from. There are many places where they can leak from. A hose could be bad or you could have a rust hole in the tub. The spin shaft seal may also be leaking. On some washers, unless you have knowledge of how to do it you may need to get the repairman out to take it apart. You just said your washer, you did not mention who manufactured it. On some the front comes off with two screws. Some you gain access from the rear, on others the whole outer cabinet is liffed off. The Maytag I would say would be the easiest. Just two screws on the botom of the front panel, flush mounted at the bevel at the bottom.
first check the hoses are tight and not leaking, If its an older GE model, the tub boot may be leaking, they had a tendancy to do that, there may be something caught in the pump as well that can cause it to crack and drip, pantyhose are common culprits. If its less than 5 years old its worth spending the 100 bucks to have a repairman come, if its older than that, you would be better off to buy a new one. A maytag is great and will be the last one you ever buy
i would check the hoses in the back that runs into the wall and connects to the washer they may be loose on need to be replaced, if those seem to be correctly installed the tub in the washer may have a whole in it but i would bet on what i said first being the problem....good luck
