Your washer can develop several types of leaks. You can track down a leak based on when it occurs:
During fill only
During drain and spin only
All the time
During fill only
If the washer leaks only during the fill cycle, check these:
Air-gap device -The air gap is a small device found on most washers that prevents the wash water from being siphoned into the household water supply. It's located either mid-way along or at the end of the black rubber hose that comes from the water-inlet valve. Often it's made of translucent plastic. If one of the air-gap components deforms or cracks, you may need to replace it.
The tube -There's a rubber tube that runs between the water-inlet valve and either the air-gap or the inlet spout. If it cracks or breaks, it can cause a leak.
Inlet spout -Most washers have a plastic spout near the top of the main clothes tub that directs the water into the tub. If the spout cracks or breaks free of its mounting, it can cause a leak.
During drain and spin only
A washer that leaks only during the spin cycle often has a leak in the main drain hose. Inspect the entire hose and correct any problem you find. Alternatively, the steel or plastic outer tubs can rust, split, or be punctured. This may be most visible during large loads and high water levels. If this happens, you may have to replace the entire outer tub--but that may not be an economical repair to make. Consult a qualified appliance repair technician for further details.
All the time
If the washer leaks all the time, check these:
Hot and cold water fill hoses - Check the hot and cold water hoses from the household plumbing. If either hose is leaking, tighten it or replace it, as appropriate.
Main tub seal - The main tub seal is located between the transmission and the outer tub. It's the primary water seal in the outer tub for the transmission-shaft entry point. If this seal leaks, you can see the leak by opening up the machine's main access panel while the machine is full of water with a small amount of detergent in it. The leak appears at the underside of the outer tub, at or near the center. This seal is difficult to replace. You probably should call a qualified appliance repair technician.
Pump - If the pump leaks, you can probably spot the leak when the tub is full of water. The pump has two or more black rubber or plastic hoses attached to it and usually has a drive belt that spins the pump. If the pump is leaking, you need to replace it.
Outer tub - Over time, the steel or plastic outer tubs can rust, split, or be punctured. If this happens, you may have to replace the entire outer tub--but that may not be an economical repair to make. Consult a qualified appliance repair technician for further details.

Will have to find out if I can find the leak myself. The repairman says it isn't the washer...sigh....but I have a suspect spot to check...now to figure out how to get to it....I have a couple suspect spots to check...
Laundry PACs! I spent two days trouble shooting our Bosch Nexxt front load. I could not duplicate the spill problem until I ran a real load and put a Pac in the dispenser. There is a grate I didn't see until I used a flashlight down the soap feed. The PAC was damming and splashing all the fill water over the side! Why is this soap tray not water tight? I think I will start a new thread with this as a topic.
You mean a pack of soap in the dispenser? Those are designed to dissolve in the tub water, not the dispenser.
Check to see if the boot- rbber lining- is torn.

I have had the same problem with my washer from the day I got it. I called Sears while it was still under warranty and the repairman who came out said it was because I filled it too full. With one twin size quilt, it leaks. I just washed a full sheet and a couple of towels and it leaked. Of course, it's out of warranty now.
I am having similar problems. We have been told by technicians that it is because we use too much soap, but we are using pods (which is industry standard, I would think). It seems to occur more with smaller loads. We do have a water softener, so the tech says it is getting too sudsy and leaking out the back. I’m not sold on that. Help? We are actually toying getting rid of the machine, which would be a huge waste of money…

The back of it looks like there is a lot of ele wires under like a fan panel what would cause a leak to leak on the back of this kenmore?

Michelle Check the washers in your hose connections and be sure the connectors are tight.

I find water on the floor after washing only when I wash on Super load

My kenmore washer elite floods my laundry room only if i don't do a full regular cycle. If I do a small load or hand wash full load it floods. What would cause that.
