Montgomery Wards Washer leaking water
When your Montgomery Wards washer is leaking, first inspect the drain pump, which can leak when its housing is cracked, damaged, or its bearings are worn. A leaking washing machine may also have a damaged or loose hose, including a tub-to-pump hose, so check every hose connection for splits, drips, and signs of wear. Next, examine the tub seal. A torn tub seal can allow water to reach the tub bearings, so replace the seal and bearings together when leakage has caused bearing damage. On a front load washer, confirm the dispenser drawer is fully closed and not cracked. Using the wrong detergent or too much detergent can also cause a washer leaking water, because excess suds can escape through the washer's overflow system. Unplug the appliance and shut off the water supply before inspecting or repairing it. If the leak is coming from underneath, the drain pump, hose, or tub seal is especially likely. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement part for your specific Montgomery Wards washing machine, including the correct drain pump, hose, tub seal and bearing kit, or dispenser drawer.
01 - Montgomery Wards Washing Machine Drain Pump
The drain pump pumps water out the drain hose. If the drain pump is cracked or damaged, or if the bearings are worn out, the drain pump may leak water. The drain pump is not repairable—if the pump is leaking water, replace it.

02 - Montgomery Wards Washing Machine Hose
Hoses apart from the fill hose or drain hose could be reponsible for a leaking washer. You should inspect all of the appliance's hoses, such as tub-to-pump hoses, for damage or loose connections and replace if necessary.

03 - Montgomery Wards Washing Machine Tub Seal and Bearing Kit
The tub seal might be torn, causing water to leak from the seal. If the tub seal is leaking water, water may leak through the tub seal and into the tub bearings. This can cause the bearings to fail. For this reason, if the tub seal is leaking water, replace both the tub seal and the tub bearings. Be aware that this is a complicated repair and will require disassembling most of the washer.

If a washer is leaking water, you should confirm the dispenser drawer is completely closed and free of damage. If the drawer is cracked, the component could be responsible for the leak and should be replaced.

06 - Wrong type or incorrect amount of detergent
If you have a front-load washer, be certain that you are using an HE - high efficiency - detergent. HE detergent is formulated to be low-sudsing and to be used with the lower water levels utilized by front-load washers. Front-load washers have a small overflow system usually on the back of the appliance. If you have too many suds, they are probably escaping from there.
