Kenny, If the unit is leaking from the center of the tub, underneath the tub, then this would be a bad tub seal and bearings which would need to be replaced. You could replace just the bearing which is part number W10435302 in which you will need the tool part number W10447783 also. The other option is replacing the tub assembly which is part number W10193886.
