Kelvinator Washer leaking water
When your Kelvinator washer is leaking, start with the drain pump, the most likely cause. A cracked pump housing or worn pump bearings can allow water to escape, and a leaking drain pump is not repairable, so replace it. Next, inspect the washer's hoses, including tub-to-pump hoses, for splits, loose connections, or other damage. A leaking tub seal is another common cause, especially when water reaches the tub bearings and causes them to fail. In that case, replace the tub seal and bearing kit together, or replace the tub seal and bearings as needed. This is a major repair that requires substantial washer disassembly. If your washing machine is leaking from the bottom or front, check that the dispenser drawer is fully closed and inspect it for cracks or damage. On front-load models, using the wrong detergent or too much detergent can create excess suds that escape through the overflow system. Use only the recommended HE detergent and correct amount. Before ordering a Kelvinator washer part, enter your model number to find the exact replacement drain pump, hose, tub seal, bearing kit, or dispenser drawer for your specific washing machine.
01 - Kelvinator 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 - Kelvinator 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 - Kelvinator 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.

05 - Kelvinator Washing Machine Dispenser Drawer
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.
