Dear James: My clothes washer leaks a little when in the drain and spin cycles. What things should I check to locate and repair the water leak? What are some maintenance tips?—Teddy L.
Dear Teddy: It is good that you noticed the leak before it got too bad. Generally, people just load the clothes in the drum, turn it on, and come back when it’s done. It is good that you have isolated when during the washing cycle that it is leaking. This will help to locate the likely problem components.
