Might be the bearings have gone or are going, but it could be something else as well.

Slide a piece of heavy cardboard or even side of a paper box that fits. Run the machine through a short cycle then pull it out. Look for areas marked by water to see where things are coming from.
To find actual source you'll have to work backwards. Water will travel path of least resistance and seek its own level. While it *could* be the bearings, look for signs to confirm (noise during spinning, odd sounds during tumbling such as knocks), excessive play (up and down, side to side) in drum. OTOH it could also be water is leaking from another area and is running down the spider arms/being thrown onto back of tub as machine spins. Look "up" into back of washer at hose connections to machine, detergent dispenser/distributor, solenoids... any place water goes or should go. Check internal hoses for cracks/leaks and to make sure are tight. |
