same model and it also sprung a leak. It had 12 service calls prior to this so junked it and bought a new GE portable pair and they far excel the Kenmore. |

If it is not the seal, my money is on the rubber corrigated boot that runs from the tub to the pump. These tubs move freely and jump around in the spin cycle that wears them or splits the bood, I had similar issue drove me nuts until I took off the boot and saw the split once I took it off and stretched it out small crack on innser seam.. I replace 2 of them in the washers life...

From your further description it sounds like it is not quite a flood so it could be the main seal. Question how does the washer sound at full spin speed, if it roars like a fright train passing by it likely does have a bad main seal and bearings, in which case take any good parts you want off the machine on its way out to the recycler. |
