Babs, you most likely have a corroded injector nozzle and valve, or damaged/ loose injector hose : WP213015 WP216201 206154, To access the components, you'll need to remove the front panel, Remove the Two(2) phillips head screws at the bottom of the front panel, swing the panel out at the bottom, until the top clips unhook from the top. Using a 3/8 inch socket or nut driver, Remove the attachment bolts(1 on each side, front corner) holding the top, to the cabinet, disconnect the bleach dispenser hose(if applicable, and raise the top of the washer. Once the top is up, the components we're concerned with are located in the left rear corner of the cabinet. Remember, to unplug the power cord and turn off the water at the faucets.

Hello Karen. You will need to look and see if the water valve 205613 is leaking on the hot side. If so, you will need to replace the water valve. If it is leaking around the top of the transmission, you will need to replace the tub seal 6-2040130 6-2095720. Hope this helps.

Hello Michael. If the pump is locked up and is not pumping out the water, then you will need to replace it. You can try to turn the pulley by hand to test it. Hope this helps.

Hi Frank. All water should be drained out within 90 seconds once the spin cycle begins. If you still have water remaining in the washer after 90 seconds you have a issue with the pump. Look for anything on the hoses or pumps not allowing the water to flow out freely. If all water is drained within 90 seconds, make sure the rollers and springs for the motor base are gliding back and forth freely. This is what maintains the correct tension on the belts for this unit. Hope this helps!
