If you can't find a drip outside of the machine, you will have to access the 
inside of the machine to check for leaks.  You will have to check your model of 
machine and see if you can determine where the machine access is.  On my old 
Maytag's, there were two screws located near the bottom of the front panel, 
that made access to the inside of the machines easy.  Each machine is 
different, however.  

Once you gain entry, I would check a couple of areas.  Often hose clamps are 
used on the water lines inside the machine, that carry the water to the actual 
wash drum.  Check these hoses and make sure you haven't lost a clamp or have a 
hole in a line.  It would also be a good idea to run your fingers around the 
bottom of the drum if you have a top loader machine.  What you're looking for 
is rust areas, where the drum may have developed leaks.  These are usually very 
easy to find.  If you can find the leak, we should be able to assist you with 
the repair.

  Subject: [BlindHandyMan] leaking washing machine


    
  Hello Again,

  My washing machine is leaking. If I put a load into soak the water leaks out 
of the washing machine and all over my floor. When just a regular load runs it 
does leak a little water, but only a small puddle in front of the machine and 
maybe under it.

  I am really hoping this is an easy repair. Easy enough to do myself. Where do 
I start? 

  Jennifer
