Greetings. I recently moved and picked up a used washer dryer set (Kenmore 80 Series). The dryer seems to be fine. My problem is teh washer leaks near the front when filling and during the cycles. I could not detect any holes or cracks in the drain hose but did replace a bracket on the hose running from the front of the machine.

Have i just learned my lesson from buying garage sale appliances? :confused:

I would remove whatever I needed to to observe the parts during operation to see what is leaking.

Water is leaking onto the ground
