I have a very nice Kenmore Elite King Size washer, about 4 years old. No problems until noticed water leaking from underneath today. Would this most likely just be a simple hose or fitting that needs to be replaced? I have not turned it over yet to look at it. I think it is Model 110.20956

Check you hot/cold wate connections at the faucet and at the back of the washer, make sure there are no leaks there. Also ck the connection where the water drains out of the washer, it's the long U shaped hose attached to the bottom back and is inserted on the other end probably in a wall drain, make sure no leaks are there. You could turn the washer over on the front side but you would probably have to disconnect the hot/cold and drain hoses. I don't know about you but I would rather ck the things I mentioned as these are easy to check, simple more than likely to fix it a connection is simply loose. If you purchased the washer new from Sears, then you should have a lifetime warranty on the tub for leaks, but probably not the labor, ck you warranty, then call Sears to have a tech sent out, the number is probably listed on your warranty or Google it.
