Sorry for the sucky diagram and ignorant language of the parts, but it's behind that drum thingy that holds the belt. =( |

Rhonda,
It looks like the arrow is pointing in the vacinity of the pump, and if the machine hasn't been used in a while, and/or if the pump is well used, it may very well be leaking. Check the body of the pump to see if it is wet. What temp water did you use? Good hot wash water will 'sometimes' help a long un-used pump reseal itself. Try that. If not, then a 350365 pump is what you need for that baby, and there are a lot of them around, in fact I think still available from Whirlpool and definitely on ebay. Gordon |

Don't be disappointed! Someone here can tell you what to do for a LOT less than $250, I'll bet. I've learned tons since coming here. |

Rhonda,
I'm not totally surprised, and your repair man is right in that a hole could be rusted in the tub. If the tub seals are just bad and this is little or no tub rot, re-sealing is a fairly straight forward operation provided the person knows what they are doing and has the parts. I have patched holes in tubs with success, but it depends on where it is or they are. Don't give up on the machine yet!! Gordon This post was last edited 11/07/2011 at 12:36 |
