I first contemplated replacing my washer since it's over 10yrs old. Checked YouTube and found Appliance Parts Pros videos and saw I could do this simple repair. I originally propped up my washer and used my iPhone to video the leak. Saw it was the hose linking the water inlet valve to the tub. Ordered my parts from APP and disassembled my washer within 10 min. Cleaned the tub and replaced the parts. I also repaired the agitator parts, which I didn't realize they were bad until I watch a few more APP videos. Washer back in full service and washing like new. I have an older direct drive Maytag, which is considered easier to repair.
