Kenmore Elite HE5t Washer leaking (110.47789701)

Recommended Posts

Hello—I'm back with a new issue. This time it's with my Kenmore Elite HE5t Washer (model 110.47789701). Recently it has been leaking water from the lower half of the right panel during the spin cycle. We have noticed that the water leaks more if we do multiple washing loads in a row. (I mop up the water after each time.) I would guess the total amount of leaked water is about a 1/2 cup per load. Any thoughts on what might be causing this?

PS—For those who assisted with the dryer, the repairman came back a third time. We inspected the dryer's blower housing, and it was clean. After inspecting all of the heating element's fuses with no success in pinpointing the problem, he guessed it was a faulty circuit board. Rather than spending more money on a circuit board or hiring a newer repairman, we cut our losses and bought a new dryer.

I would pull that lower panel off and the top off and start a load. Finding leaks are always a visual thing but the first place I would look is the water valve and supply lines. The water valve will be on the top of the machine after you remove the top panel. If it is rusted and corroded replace it. I would also make sure the glass door and the door seal are clean and sealing good and pull the dispenser drawer out and make sure the holes inside are not clogged with mold.
