My husband is a natural handyman, I call him Bob the Builder (don't tell him I told you that!). When our washer started leaking we started looking for a used one online, when that didn't work he figured he'd take it apart and see if he could find the problem himself. Well after doing some research online we replaced the drain pump, which in the long run was a good idea because ours wasn't in very good condition, but our washer still leaked. So after some more looking around he found a hole on the backside of the tub hose. We replaced that and our washer has been running great! We spent $40 on fixing our washer instead of $200+ on another used washer.
