Washing machine water leak. Speed Queen / Huebsch Top Loaders

Washing machine water leak. Speed Queen Top Loaders

          There was a small amount of water under one of the Top Load washers. I had been working on a machine beside it and after I was done I found a small drip from the hose connection. I tightened it up but a few days later it was still slowly leaking from under the washer. Sometimes it takes a bit for the water to dry under a machine so seeing some wet spots the next day is not always an issue. 

          When I pulled the front off of the washer (two small screws at the bottom) I noticed water in the bottom part of the frame. The hoses seemed OK so I pulled the pump off by un-snapping the 3 clips and found water on top of the pump.

          As you can see in the video, once I cleaned up the pump and filled it with water it leaked around the seal at the point where the motor connects to the pump.

          I installed a new pump and everything worked fine.
