How To Fix A Leaking Washing Machine Kenmore 80 Series DIY

[@lorenstevens8693]

I am a 71 year old woman and with his helpful instructions was able to replace my pump and it worked.. So thankful as it not only saved me money, but was able to keep my machine as I have not heard of good reports on the newer ones. Thanks.

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

+Mary Miller Wow awesome good to hear!! Glad it helped to save you money and keep your machine going! That's a good feeling. Great job I'm impressed not just any 71 year old would tackle something like this! 😀

[@DaddyMi777]

Where did you order the parts?

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

I have a link in the video description below the video where I got mine.

[@DaddyMi777]

Smart Easy DIY yes, I saw it later and just ordered it. I opened up my kenmoor but I didn’t see anything obvious. I touched the hose that was connected to back output panel. See the picture here: 1drv.ms/u/s!AqnZganodVqhg7wZRL6wNUaAwUg9XQ I didn’t see any clip there and it was wet. I will replace the pump and see.

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

@@DaddyMi777 Ok awesome best of luck!

[@alanmorrison1689]

My son and I followed your video step by step and encountered the same problem you did with getting the old drain pump off the spindle. The plastic was fused onto the metal with rust and friction. We had to tear and cut the old plastic pump apart and cut and scrape the plastic off the spindle. Took an hour. Then sanded off the spindle with metal sandpaper. Everything else was pretty straightforward. Now the machine is fixed and works beautifully with no leak. We're so grateful to you for posting this video.

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

Well thank you I appreciate that. I'm so glad it helped you! I'm glad you got the rust figured out cuz yes that can be a pain sometimes. Good job!!

[@victoryredcolorado]

No need to remove the screws from the back of the panel. They actually aid when tilting the control panel up and it rests more gently.

[@714nsanchez]

Thank you! Wife is not geting a new washer yet!

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

+Noe Sanchez Haha good for you! Maybe next time she will..

[@sandrachurch4745]

I am also a senior lady~~ of 74--I tackled this job and the only difficulty was removing the old pump. After soaking for a day I went back at it. Beat, pried , jiggled and finally off it came!! Whew! Of course the shaft was rusty--so I cleaned it and sanded and added a little petroleum jelly to ease the new one on. I held my breath when turning on the water~~ but so far all is good! Saved me a visit from a repairman. This is an older Kenmore and as long as it keeps going I am happy!!

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

+Sandra Church Wow awesome good for you!! I'm proud of you not giving up but keeping at it! :) way to go I hope it keeps going for you!

[@bobbyhognuts4153]

Beat, pried and jiggled..... Ya but did ya try moving the pump !!! Hahhhaaah Hahhhaaah I'm just clowning around, sorry

[@layzy24]

9 years later and this video is as helpful as ever!! 😄. Mine started to leak last night.

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

Thank you! Wow I hope you get it fixed.

[@layzy24]

@@SmartEasyDIYer me too. Ordered the part off Amazon and it's arriving tomorrow. It's like they all ready have this part in stock becuase it's the first thing people order 😂

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

😁👍

[@layzy24]

@@SmartEasyDIYer update: this wasn't the problem. But I found another video that helped me on how to jump the machine so that I can remove the the outer shell and start the washer to find where the leak is coming from. Wish me luck. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJjSfHubf712mJo

[@thuglife2ea424]

​@@layzy24where was the leak coming from

[@karendiamond459]

Thank you so much! This was super helpful. I have now repaired both my dryer and washer that are over 25 years old for less than $60! I really appreciate you taking the time to post this. I couldn't have done it without you! My husband is thrilled.

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

+Karen Diamond You're welcome I'm so glad it helped you! Good job on your repair!!

[@karendiamond459]

Hey, so I do have a question. The bottom front is a bit higher than the back so the unit is tilted slightly back. I never noticed it before but its possible it was always like this. I took it apart again and tried to hook the lip underneath the frame in front, but it just wont go together unless I rest it on top of the frame. Does this make any sense?

This was right on the money (and saved us a bunch of it). Your camera work was better than the great majority of KZbin videos out there. Thank you so much!

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

Well thanks. I've def learned a lot since making this video. I'm glad if it helped you!

[@alecyellallthetime432]

After finally verifying it was definitely the pump, I used this tutorial to switch in a new one. Easy as pie. I finished in no time and its working great. Thanks for the fantastic tutorial!

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

+Alec Yellallthetime Awesome thank you great job on your repair!! Sorry for the video quality it was one of my first.

[@MemphianSounds]

how did you verify it was definitely the pump? that's the only point of confusion for me

[@patmadden9201]

Yeah, I would like to know also. Mine was leaking water earlier this week but not sure where from.@@MemphianSounds

[@chck13522]

Thank you soo freakin much! We were doing our laundry at the laundry mat for six months before I stumbled on to this video. $13 and 30 minutes later and our wash machine works perfectly. Thank you again!

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

Haha you're welcome glad it saved you from going to the laundry mat cuz that gets to be a pain!!

[@Bowstar23]

Just fixed mine today! Thought I was going to have to take all the screws off the back but this video saved me the headache :) Took about 20 minutes to change out the pump. I spent another hour just cleaning all the filth in between the drums. Thanks for the video!!!

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

You're welcome. Glad it helped. Good job on the repair!!

[@makin4u2]

Thank U so much this video. I actually ordered the pump and after I opened it, found out it was actually the hose coming from the pump that was leaking. I still wouldn't have been able to open it and repair had it not been for this great Video. U saved me money and time. Thank U so much for this video.. 👍👍

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

You’re very welcome. I’m glad it was an easy fix. Thanks for letting me know.

[@emetee217]

Ditto what Ruby said! My husband hates working on household appliances (Tractors, combines, etc. are his thing!) The thought of shelling out $$$ to a repairman so close to Christmas was really disheartening. Your video showed me I've got this! Thank you!!

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

Hey so glad it was helpful to you! I appreciate the feedback. :) Good luck with it.

[@SmutchyBritches]

Very detailed instructions for even me, a female, with the same washer problem. I do believe I can fix mine myself. Thanks so much for taking the time to post this video.

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

Your welcome. I hope it works out great for you.. Good luck!

[@davidpearse7325]

I couldn't figure out how to disassemble my washer so I started looking up videos. You showed me exactly what needed to be done. AND my leak happened to be coming from the water pump as well. Very helpful video. Thanks!

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

Awesome I’m glad it helped. Good job fixing it!!

[@heidisriley]

I am now an official rock star appliance lady :) thanks so much to your video! last week i replaced my heating element on dryer ~ thanks to KZbin help! in the meantime My washer had been leaking only a little bit for this last month, then today ~ there was a mighty creek flowing out of the garage coming from under the front of the washer! I cant say enough how helpful your video is! Thank you thank you thank you ~ happy Saturday & Happy Easter!

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

Thanks. That was a good story! Great job on your repair!! Happy Easter!

[@keithusaf1]

Paul, thanks for taking the time to make this video. It is very helpful. Also, note Cliff's comment is a time-saver.

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

Ok great thanks for the feedback. Yeah Thanks Cliff..

[@joshuaabrams9168]

This was great! I am not an experienced person repairing things at home and this was completely helpful. I had fun fixing my machine! Thanks for taking the time to share this with the rest of us!

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

You're welcome glad if it helped. ;)

[@jeng494]

This video helped tremendously. I am a 40+ female who is mechanically inclined and prefers to be self-reliant (appliance issues tend to happen at the least convenient moment, right?). I was able to disassemble my washing machine, clean it inside and out and complete the needed repairs easily after watching this video. I really appreciate your thorough instruction. Thank you for providing such useful content! Note to other gals out there: I am 5' 4" and my washer is in a tight space so very little room in which to work. All it takes is common sense, a couple of basic tools and patience to make this repair so if you're wondering if you can do this, you can! :)

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

+Jen G Wow awesome good for you!!! I'm so proud of you! Great job!! Looking back I wish I would've done a better job on the video but it was one of my first so Ive learned a lot since then too. :)

[@jeng494]

One of your first videos? You did an excellent job explaining and performing the repair in real time so good for you! I think you did a fine job making this video. I see from the other comments below that I am not the only gal who tackled this repair with your helpful instruction, too. Nice work! Thanks again!

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

+Jen G Thanks. Yes looking back I wish I had a better setup so I wasn't as shaky or moved around so much. After this I mostly ventured into phone repairs with this channel but I recently started another channel that will be all about repairs around the house etc. kzbin.info/door/cXoLFNLZNKM7JSU8vTB4-w so I'm having fun with that. :)

[@jeng494]

Smart Easy Repair I'll check out your other channel on home repairs. Thanks for the link. Looking forward to learning more from you. :)

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

I actually decided to just focus on one channel and branch out into a little more on just this channel.

[@nathanielwhite2724]

I just did this, it worked! The crazy part, I found one of my kid’s sock inside the pump!! I used needlenose pliers to pull it out (in shreds), unbelievable, I fixed it!!

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

Wow that’s crazy!! Awesome job though way to go!! 👍👊

[@Onthelambretta]

Worked as described. The only way to remove the old pump was to destroy it and it was near impossible to remove even then. Thanks for the walk through.

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

Great job I'm glad you got it!

[@kegstahand]

Good video, please retitle: "How to change water pump on Kenmore 80 Series DIY" since this is the only issue that the video addresses and will not fix all leaks on the model.

[@LucasGentry]

Wow! This was so helpful, I really appreciate it! After watching your video, it was simple to take off the housing and discover that I needed to replace the same piece. I ordered it and will have a non-leaking washing machine in just a few days because of you! Thanks!

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

+Lucas Gentry Thanks I'm glad it helped! Good luck :)

[@VanDeventer7]

It was my washer pump for sure, had a small crack in it and water was squirting out like crazy. Your step by step instructions was perfect. Thank you. Had a heck of a time getting the darn cabinet back on, cut my finger on the edge of the cabinet. I watch another video on how to put the cabinet back on. I did it. My husband will be proud of me. He's working out of town right now. Well anyway thanks again for your video. God Bless You!

[@VanDeventer7]

I guess this would be the same way to take a part of the 90 series. Mine just started leaking. Very good step by step. Now I got to order a washer pump.

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

Yeah it should be quite similar I think. Good luck with it!

[@icuproductions1]

Very helpful information, though I was hoping to find a leaking hose that I could cut the end off and reassemble.

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

Thanks. Sometimes it’s easy like that but not always.

Awesome thank you so much! I’m glad it was helpful. Great job!!

[@jadesystem]

Thank you friend for the excellent video. Just had a major leak with my Kenmore washer. I'm not as fortunate to have a drain in my upstairs area where my washer/dryer combo is located. These water leaks always ruin my upstairs ceiling whether it be a leaky washer, faulty toilet inlet hose, or a breach in the shower line behind the walls, there is always water damage even possible mold if not corrected. A ball shut-off valve at the side of the house at the main water entrance is always good to have and to use whenever leaving the house for even a day. Thanks again friend.

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

You're welcome glad I could help!

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

+xKmotx Haha awesome best of luck to you!

[@ravenblanco1999]

Nice job, very helpful. One note, when you put the screws/clips back in (last step of assembly, at about 12:30) on the back of the washer, you didn't tuck the metal 'ears' on the inside of the plastic, there's a place to do that, they were outside, so the metal just past the screws bent out when you tightened them. But the video was very helpful, thanks.

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

Thanks for the tip. I appreciate the comment. 😊

[@juliewoods6534]

Very good video. I would just like to suggest that a zip tie be placed around the discharge hose to the hot and cold water hoses. This prevents the discharge hose from backing out during the pumping out of the water during cycles. My motto, if it can happen it will.

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

Yes sounds like a good idea. 😊 thanks for sharing.

[@johngburtonbudzinski7608]

thanx for heads up, just knowing how to disassemble and diagnose a small leak has saved me at least a hundred bux (more than likely old lady would just run out and buy another new machine with no parts avail, lol).

You're welcome. I'm glad it helped you! Take care.

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

+9toesracing Yeah good for you!

[@oatnoid]

Thumbs up for showing how the plastic pivot latches went in. Those were a head scratcher for a while. (tabs go behind the control panel frame so they don't get bent)

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

You’re welcome

[@cliffk1858]

You're making a little tough on yourself. The two plastic pieces you take off first are the hinges for the top. You just need to pop off the end caps, remove the two screws underneath, and the control panel will flip back without hanging it by the wires. There's no need to pull the machine away from the wall.

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

Thanks cliff.

[@DaddyMi777]

Cliff, indeed, I started from the two end caps. Thanks!

I would have never thought they came apart like that! THANKS SO MUCH! How did you determine it was the pump? TIP MAYBE: It looks like the machine could be run with the housing off? That was be awesome way to see where the leak is coming from. (I'm going to try it on mine - things never seem to go the way they should when I'm facing a repair, LOL) Again, THANKS SO MUCH for the video. Getting the housing off is a puzzle few could solve.

[@totallyfrozen]

The front box may not simply slide off. Mine was screwed to the frame on the bottom rail about 1/4” off the floor. I suggest checking that FIRST before starting to unscrew the top area. Otherwise, you won’t be able to tip the machine back to access those bottom frame screws. 1:25 Why did you take the hinges off to flip the top back? Isn’t that what hinges are for? Then you just had to put them back in (backwards too it seems) and they never served their purpose. 12:30

[@martinrivera6828]

I don't take the washer apart, I just pull the washer three foot to the front and lie it to the back , put a towel and small bucket , and remove the old pump with a small chanel locks and put the new one, 15 minutes fix. I work in an apts complex, you make a lit bit complicated.

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

Awesome thanks for sharing the tips 👍

[@elcidlord]

Great video. Mine is 21 years old. I see a very small amount of water in the center on the floor. Price of pump? Expensive? Or time for a new one machine? No chance of the tub seal? Thank you.

Thanks for putting together this video. Most appliances are pretty easy to work on if you know what you're doing (ie where the fasteners are, what clips to undo). I interned at GE's washing machine plant doing quality assurance and tore apart a few hundred of those machines, unfortunately they are totally different than these Kenmore machines. anyhow, this video saved me a bunch of time and money.

Does the problem ever come from the hoses themselves instead and, if so, what does that replacement look like? Thanks for a great video!

I've never had a leaking hose but if it was bad then it would be the same to take it apart to get done to the hose that's attached to the pump.

[@nickdoan1485]

Hello, the shaft that holds on the water pump is really rusty and I’m having a problem removing the old water pump. Any suggestions on how to remove the old water pump? Thank you for the video

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

You’re welcome. Mine was very rusty too but it mostly just crumbled off I think. I had to use a vise grip pliers to just break the last bit of I think. Then I sanded the shaft again to remove the rust so the new one went back on.

[@Derek8487]

I have a different brand machine and its dripping water inside it I might try this and hopefully that will fix it. It's annoying to have to turn the water off every time the wash is done.

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

Yeah it is annoying. I think they should be designed quite similar.

[@jferg7356]

I had the same issue and am very happy to have come by this video. Problem is that my pump will not slide off the motor to be able to put on the new one. seems stuck or rusted right to it. You mentioned you had some issues getting yours off originally, any advice as to how to get it off without hurting the motor?

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

Yeah mine was really rusted on too. I think mine the plastic had kind of broken around the shaft. So I was able just to kind of cut/pry it off of there. I had to use sandpaper to get the rest sanded off then in order to get my new pump back on.

[@jferg7356]

Smart Easy DIY I will try and break it off then. thanks for the video and your reply.

You’re welcome best of luck with it!!

[@Ruthie77777]

On the Series 80 washer, can you lift the top up and off instead of pulling the whole case forward and off?

[@chrisokeeffe7624]

You don't have to disassemble the top. You can access the pump by turning the washer on its back and access the pump from the bottom.

[@MickyFig]

Question: Was yours like a small leak? Mine is pouring out almost as fast as it goes in, and it started doing it suddenly. Suddenly as in the wash before the gushing fine, then run for higher ground!

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

Wow! Well mine leaked pretty fast too yes. Not as bad as yours I don't think. Sounds like yours might be a hose that broke.

I have a 70 series looks exactly the same leaking from the bottom as well.

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

Hopefully that does it.

[@vansavage4027]

Great video, I replaced the pump and now cannot get the cabinet lined up. I think I'll sleep on it and hit it again tomorrow with a bigger hammer. Thanks

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

Thanks and good job! I hope your bigger Hammer does the trick :)

[@KidsandKittens217]

I think I have the same problem; I can't seem to get the cabinet lined back up where it belongs; my washer continues to leak even after I've replaced the pump. I'm wondering if it's because it doesn't look exactly lined up. Have you gotten it lined up right by now? How did you do it?

Great video. Explains a lot. Thank you 😊

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

Thanks 😊

Excellent job

Thanks! Glad it helped.

Can those red wires on the motor get wet? My washer was leaking so much water that they gotten wet a little.

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

I’m guessing they shouldn’t. Probably would hurt to use a hair dryer and dry them out somewhat if you can get to it.

[@Kevinwatts0316]

@@SmartEasyDIYer Ok awesome. Im trying to troubleshoot the leak but i cant find it. I got a GE top load washer and the bottom panel is wet. I turned on the washer and let it run but im not finding the leak. Should i just let the washer run its course all the way through?

Everything went perfectly until it came time to "wiggle" the old pump off. I can't get the darn thing off! Looking around it seems that the pump can become very corroded and stuck, any tips for getting it off in that situation? I see other people removing the motor as well and smashing it off but I'm not quite ready to do that. Thank you so much for the clear, concise video on how to get the machine apart, that part worked like a charm!

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

+Sarah Parker Thank you glad it was helpful. When was very restaurant to I don't know any tips really maybe you could try where the shaft goes into The pump soaking it with WD-40 then see if you can wiggle it off after a while.

[@sarahparker9590]

I'll give it a try, thanks!

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

+Sarah Parker Best of luck!

Two questions: Are the leaks usually the pump and not the hoses? You would think that they would go first. Also, the pump I removed did not have an obvious crack. Should it have for that to have been the problem?

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

I think sometimes the seals can leak a little too but yeah it may just be your hoses. For me it was the pump but the hoses could get cracked or dry rot too probably.

[@AlecJNoe]

I have the exact same washer and it is also leaking from bottom. I'm wondering, is it definitely the pump? Is there a sure fire way to tell before I buy the pump and replace it?

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

+Alec Noe If you can block it up and look underneath it while it's pumping it may just be the hose has a leak too.

[@tuanngnt]

Hi, I have a question. My father Kenmore 80 series washer machine leaking water underneath when water is Medium or High. Is it because of water pump too?

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

It could be just a loose pipe maybe. It’d be worth tipping back and looking underneath see what you can see.

[@joeleahan8063]

Awesome video. How did you know the pump was leaking?

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

Thanks. It was dumping water out so I was able to block the front up a little to watch and see where it was coming out.
