Has anyone had water come from underneath washer were you able to fix it yourself , get serviced or just get a new one ?

I was able to find a leaking hose, and others that looked like they were end-of-life. Replaced a few, but it merely extended the life of the washer just a couple more years.

The replacement hoses didn't seem to fit perfectly.

If you were ABLE to fix it yourself, you'd already have been looking inside and locating the leak.

Yes, washing machines are repairable. They have a brand, model number and serial number. You can get repair parts from places like Servall or other local parts places. Look in phone book or online for washing machine repair parts in your city or area.

No, they are NOT repairable by people with NO TOOLS and NO EXPERIENCE.

Yes, there are repair/service companies that repair large appliances, but they often charge so much that you'd be farther ahead to just buy a new washing machine.

The ones that send a repairman to your house charge more.

The ones who you bring the washing machine to charge less.

Many new washing machines operate very differently than your old one. I just repaired my old washing machine. The parts cost $15 and took 2 days. I don't want a retarded new style high efficiency washing machine. I want an old-fashioned simple washing machine. Fill, agitate, rinse, spin.

multiple possibles: drain hose on one or the other side of the pump is leaking and needs replacing or reattaching. same for water inlet and the valve that controls it. [is the water soapy or not? soapy means it isn't the water inlet hose]

next possible -- there's a seal at the lower center of the tub. after a lot of use, this can leak. it'll be clean water at first and then soapy.

the first two of these are fairly easy to fix yourself. for the third -- see maker's website under "support" -- that seal has to be custom ordered. maker or youtube likely has video on how to remove the tub and replace the seal.

Could be from the threaded part of the water inlet valve(s). The threaded part is plastic and could split if the machine is pushed hard up against the wall/ rear of alcove. Alternative suggestions are split dispenser/fill pipe or heater compartment tank to the side of/under the wash drum. Could run the machine with top/rear covers removed to see where the leak is coming from. Be cautious of not getting supply hose/electric cord caught in the drum pulley when doing inspection with covers removed on older machines.

It's fixable but first you need to get covers off to see where the leak is. Then if you are fairly handy you can find the part on-line an order it or check with local appliance store.

Because the water can ONLY come from underneath, regardless of where the leak is from, that doesn't narrow it down much. We know it is not the hoses in the back.

Could be something as simple as a hose popped off the pump, or it could be more difficult to diagnose and repair, like an "O-Ring" seal.

It's worth laying the machine down on it's back and having a look underneath. If the hose is off the pump, you should be able to notice that. If you don't see any obvious cause, you may want to consider having it repaired if it is less than five years old. If it is older than that, replace it.

I am a firm believer in used washers and dryers. I have had great luck with them in the past but they are not always easy to find in a timely manner (we had four boys and laundry piled up very quickly).

The other route I like is buying from a home center like Lowes. I choose Roper brand as they are made by Whirlpool, have similar quality, and cost less than the name brand.

Good luck.

I had a discharge hose split, it wasn’t too difficult to replace myself

you need to take a look at where the leak is to determine whats cost effective

Both, sometimes it isjust the line or a pump leak which is easy enough to fix by oneself, other times it could be the drum and such, which may or may not be fixable or even worth fixing. It could also be from overloading r the way it was packed.

Find out exactly where the water is coming from. The first thing to do is pull it away from the wall and check if there is a leak in the hose going in at the top or coming out lower down. That is the easy part and means you can tighten it up or replace a hose very simply. Turn it on while it is away from the wall so you can find the leak.

It's certainly worth laying the machine on it's side to determine the source of the leak. The leak will show as crystalline detergent deposits. It may be a detached or split hose. Or a seal on a motor. At least you will know what the situation is before you spend money blindly.
