Water leak from dispenser drawer kenmore HE2 plus washer

[@trust5977]

I can’t thank you enough for this video. I have zero knowledge, skills or confidence when it comes to fixing anything. We had the same problem today and because of your video I was able to fix the problem. In pre quarantine times I probably would have ordered a new machine immediately. Your video saved me.

[@fixerdaddy]

Truth great that it helped. I have been working on fixing appliances in these quarantine times. I will post a few more detailed videos which I find other videos generally skip as they might seem easy to the regulars but contain the finer points which help novice like us!! Stay safe!

[@cblurose]

Thank you for this video! My step-dad found it for me and passed it along and then came and helped me get a little washcloth out of the hose under the soap dispenser. Such an easy fix.

[@Actueel68]

Thank you for this video! I will one up the you all, I did find a sock; however, I found an elmo toy as well. My son had that 4 years ago. Moreover, really taking this thing apart really shows you how simple and powerful these machines really are. Great tutorial, I enjoyed fixing this one.

[@yessir4787]

I had the same issue with my wash machine a year later so I came back to watch this tutorial and refresh my memory. Works great. Thanks again.

[@mandyhoffman3038]

Thank you so much!!! I searched and searched and found your post. I almost called a repair person. A pair of underwear was stuck at the bottom of the hose and water was spitting out of the detergent dispenser. I can usually fix most things thanks to posts on youtube and I had almost given up on this one. Once I got the top and front of the washer disassembled, I was able to unclamp the water hose from the detergent dispenser and pull the culprit right out. Great explanations, won't have to miss any work due to waiting for repair person and then double the trouble by having to pay someone for doing something so easily done myself. You rock! Thanks again:)

[@MitziandDave]

Thank you very much for your detailed video. It helped me to get familiar with the inner workings of the dispenser drain. We had a hankerchief wedged up in the dispenser drain hose where it connects to the outer drum. By pulling back the rubber bellow we were able to see the garment and pull it out without removing any parts of the washer. Thanks again!

[@navyswimer89]

Ujjval!!!!! Your the man. Thank your for the advise my roommate broke the washer and thanks to your video I can now wash my clothes again.

[@mottichen]

Great video! Thank you, you saved me hundreds of dollars. The hose was blocked exactly where you describe it. Found you had to take one more screw on the right side of the dispenser drawer to pull it out. Thanks again for the putting this here.

[@kcalawa]

Thanks for the post!!! Found the item blocking the hose right away and got the machine up and running again. Huge help!

[@rplechnercpa]

Thanks for the video. Definitely try to get your hand into the space between the gasket and the drum and see if there is any blockage before pulling your machine apart. You need a thin pair of hands but at about 10 o'clock is where the water fills into the drum. We too had a sock all jammed up in there - may need to use something to help snake/negotiate the blockage out. Good luck and thanks everyone for sharing! Also be sure your detergent tray is clean - especially where the fabric softener dispenses - tends to gum up in there too.

[@travisjones7169]

BAM this saved the day!!!

[@gamerdaddyomg5224]

Thank you so much! I am a frequent cleaner of the trap on the bottom, but never had any other problems before. As so many others said, I found a sock stuck at the hose. Again, thank you so much for the instructions.

[@bruceblackstock6299]

I just fixed my F/ L kenmoore using your video. THANKS!!

[@tmautumn7138]

thank you sooooooo much. I read all comments and watched the video as I had water gushing from the dispenser. I have my dryer sitting on top of my washer so a quick check that I did before taking everything apart was to run my hand along the inside of the drum and the rubber gasket in the upper left hand corner and lo and behold there was a sock stuck up there. I pulled it out and now it runs great. Thanks!!!!

[@donnay2fye198]

tm autumn Thanks found a sock and pulled out without taking anything apart! Mine are stacked also.

[@0043fasteddy]

Your video was a great help,i found a nylon sock were the hose connects to the drum.You saved me a few hundred. Thank you

[@yessir4787]

Did what you said and found a sock blocking the hose that drains into the drum. My wash machine is working. Thank you.

[@anniem7632]

Thankyou so much for this video ! We had the same problem, water coming out of the front from Soap dispenser. This is what we did , we saw a video of how to remove the door seal and then removed the rubber bellow just from the front part . On the left where the black hose is connected to the drum (comes from the soap dispenser) , we unplugged it and found the sock !!! Then we plugged the hose back into the drum and resealed the rubber seal, It is very very easy.

[@skashyaps]

Thank you very much for this video . You didn't save my money only but saved my time as well . God Bless you . Keep up the good work .

[@kylefinn3775]

Thanks for the video, definitely check between the gasket and the drum first, if its plugged there easy fix, no need to pull anything apart!!!

[@MrGamez36]

Kyle Finn i did the same thing, but after I removed the hole thing on the top

[@bmitchler]

Thanks for sending me down the right path! Word of advice, though: before you start this task, try doing a quick spin & drain cycle. In my case, whatever may have been blocking the pipe when I started my load - most likely a previously lost sock living between the walls of the drum - was nowhere to be seen when I disassembled everything and took off the inlet hose. The original problem was certainly resolved. Instead, however, I now have a small leak inside the machine cabinet when I do a cycle. I think I'm going to have to take everything apart again and check the hose connections - but not today!

[@bkearns34]

Great help, thanks! Found the sock. When you are doing this repair, you want to make sure you remember where all of the screws go, and that there are two types, so remember or mark which goes where.

[@Gimbal]

Awesome, fixed! My wife disassembled our machine and found a mini sock in the bottom of the soap inlet tube. Thank you!!

[@abelee2858]

Thank you, you saved me hundreds of dollars. I found a sock stuck in the hose. It blocked the water way and water came out of the dispenser.

[@hchian]

Yse, thank you for the video. It confirmed my suspicion. For anyone who also searched kenmore dispenser, for my model, after you removed the top front panel (clip on, with one star shape screw front), the metal plate (4 screw on top, 4 screws on front), the diepensor (one star shaped screw on top, and one star shaped screw on front). pick up the dispenser and pull the tube from the bottom by squeezing it at the end. You should see something there. I have a sock at the connection. :)

[@davidonuoha8313]

Thank you so much for the wonderful video; so simple and straight forward, it really solved my problem and saved me money....Thank You!!

[@texshorr]

Nice Job! Checked hoses, no problem. Washcloth was stuck at the inlet to the tub as described. Used a pair of long needle nose pliers to carefully remove without damaging gasket. Thanks for the video.

[@pokeyjoe7664]

Great Video, thank you, saved me time and money. there was a sock jammed in my drum, thank you posters. Sock jam at 10 o'clock as well. Now I don't have to use the laundromat. THUMBS WAY UP!!!!!

[@MarkRosenthal]

Thanks for the video. I had a different problem, but your detailed video helped me solve it anyway, particularly after Sears wouldn't give me any help or guidance.

[@seanemclean]

This helped me immensely clear a blockage from my lower drain line, thanks so much!

[@donovanhome2]

Thanks for this video. We had a sock in the hose underneath the dispenser leading to the drum. I did take the dispenser out as shown in the video, but in the end could have saved the time as I was able to pull the sock out from inside. Run your fingers along the upper left arc of the door/drum gasket and see if there's any clothing you can pull out.

[@wadevanbuskirk234]

This solved the problem of water pouring out under the drawer, Just ran my fingers through and pulled out a washcloth that was in the upper left. No tools needed!

[@jesseleonard4437]

Thanks....you saved me at least two hours.

[@Snowspirit655]

Thank you for the information! Had a sock jam at the 10 O'Clock position that was constricting the water flow and causing it to leak out the front dispenser cup. Was able to get in pull the sock out and works great again! Thank you!!!!! :)

[@mallarimc]

Thanks for the video. I just had this happen and planning to tackle the blockage.

[@jjktrina]

Thank you so much... Took me about an hour and a half but its fixed, sock stuck in the hose. Everyone doubted that i could do it.

[@manalmehta1000]

Thanks! Very helpful. I had overloaded the washer & that allowed a small sock to get out of the drum between the lining. I found a sock in the rubber lining as well, but that did not fix the problem. I ran my finger in the narrow gap between the drum and behind the rubber lining, and felt the sock on the upper left hand corner. This sock was wedged and constricted the flow thru the rubber hose from the dispenser. This required some effort to pull out. I did not have to take out the dispenser

[@davidkuhel7279]

You rock! Took 20 minutes. Like others, sock (or what was left of it) stuck at 10 o'clock in the filling tube.

[@apfelmann74]

Great Video, Thanks!. Had the exact same issue, there was a sock in there. Took me couple of hours (including a trip to the HW store to get torx bits for a couple of the screws) but this certainly saved me a lot of money.

[@melanieboyer5194]

Great video! I ordered the new dispenser "shell" and hubby replaced it. Did first wash on "Express Wash"; no sign of water leaking...have "Normal/Casual" load going now....hoping it'll be good, too. Did not find any blockage in any of our hoses.

[@grouchysmad]

Thanks between the video and comments , I saved a bunch of money. Another problem I have because of my dogs is the pump getting clogged up, so i have to unscrew basket frequently to clear.

[@djcsr]

Thanks for the video--indeed we had a sock lodged at the lower end of the soap inlet hose. As described in other comments, I probably could have gotten to it from the space behind the gasket--rather than taking the top off, however it was a good learning experience.

[@mattox4349]

Great video helped me fix my washer, now I have a a few left over screws, hope they were not important or were at bottom of pan when I moved it get access to washer

[@steveshea6583]

Perfect, this did the trick. A big old sock stuck right inside after I pulled the hose out. My washer had been knocking for quite some time before it started leaking and I had to use medium spin otherwise the sound was unbearable on high setting. I couldn't figure out what the issue was but since the washer was working I figured I'd use it until she blew up or something. Sounds good now so apparently that was the issue. Make sure you pull the whole front panel off to make sure the hose fits back in correctly. Thanks for the video!

[@doctordjamesify]

Thank you so much, you let me right to the problem and I fixed it....probably saved myself a nice sum of cash. Terrific...another Lady:)

[@sydnitaylor2769]

Hi great video,BEFORE you take everything apart I used a plastic snake with the grabby points (what you use to pull hair out of a drain) and put it between the rubber and the drum on the upper left side and moved it around and it grabbed a pair of underwear. PROBLEM SOLVED. YAY!!!

[@dano5905]

I just watched the video and could not figure how to find the hose referred. However, I read the comments and followed the guidance: open the front door and check the liner . . . there was a sock stuck! This fixed the problem!!!!!!

[@mmiaxx2002]

Great tutorial, insight appreciated!

[@rickboyer6676]

Very good and thorough vid! Thank you! ( not too much yapping like some other diy vids!)

[@keny.2168]

Thanks OP and everyone commented below. I was thinking to find a repair guy as my dryer was stacked on the washer. However, someone commented that the sock may be able to be pulled from the gap between the gasket and the drum at 10 o'clock position. And bingo! I found the sock, removed it and fixed it within a minute.

[@powerinjesusname]

Thank you, we just fixed our washer it had a sock stuck in the hose. Our warranty is out so it saved us a lot of money? It took us a couple of hours to get everything apart and back together but was worth the time. THANKS!!!

[@injeralover]

Just pulled a sock out of the lower end of my hose. Got a little bloody from my hand. Good video.

[@huttarl]

How did you get the sock out?

[@injeralover]

+huttarl I had to take the clamps from the hose to remove it and my sock was lodged in on the drum side. It took a while of pulling but eventually came out. This was my real first washer repair and this video made it possible. Hope you can get yours out.

[@Schutterjam]

Don Fisher I've had to take a sock out FIVE TIMES. Anyone know how they get in there? I want to prevent this

[@Schutterjam]

Anyone know how a sock gets into that hose from inside the washer? It's happened to me 5 times, and it is NOT COMING FROM THE DETERGENT DRAWER.

[@eddieibarra]

Thanks! I was able to retrieve the sock that was clogging the tube and fixed the washer.

[@CallaghanMusicMaine]

Big thanks to Ujjval and everyone else who posted comments! I didn't have to disassemble anything on my Kenmore washer but found a sock behind the drum gasket at the 10 o'clock position. Used a pair of pliers to pull it out of the hose and now the washer is working great again.

[@dcworking777]

Thanks...in an hour it was fix and running again!

[@serafinramos3892]

Hermano: justo entre el tambor y el sello de plástico…. Encontré un calzón atorado!!!!! Gracias Mil!!!!😅por tu contribución con este video

[@spinout3]

thank you for your help, saved me a lot of time and money. worked perfectly.

[@christineek3000]

very very helpful I was able to unclog my washer. Thanks $348 dollars worth!!!!!

[@musicvixen78]

This tutorial has been so helpful, my only issue is I can't figure out how to get the dispenser out with the hoses attached to it. I cant find anything telling how to disconnect that hose yet.

[@dimidid]

Thank you very much! It helped me to resolve my problem!

[@nothingman1020]

I wanted to echo all the other many comments. Sock stuck right where the detergent/water tube enters the drum. I still can't fathom how the heck it gets there even after reading many of the comments, but I'll know where to look for missing socks the next time! Poor dryer, it's been getting all the blame! My favorite part the whole thing is after removing the bottom panel (I did this in order to loosen the main front panel enough to ensure I was able to get the tube re-inserted into the drum properly) I find a "For Technician Only Diagnositic and Troubleshooting Guide" in a ziploc bag taped to the inside of the panel!!!!!! What a scam! Thank goodness for this series of tubes we call the Internet and great people who take the time to make these videos and inspire a bunch of people to save a ton of money and screw the system that hides information from its consumers in order to charge them hundreds of dollars for something that anybody with a ratchet set and the right torx bit can do.

[@benhealey4555]

Very much appreciated -- did the trick!!

[@dryrainwetsun]

Either the top or the bottom as for as the hose that brings water into the tub or drains water out will be clogged if you're leaking water check your hose at top of washer for water draining out of the detergent dispensary.check bottom drain for water drainage from the bottom of washer if bottom is leaking, just that simple.

[@mdesousa999]

Thank you for the info I had a small sock stuck at the hose where it enters the drum.

[@ksmith022]

Watched you video and pulled a sock out of the hose. Wouldn't have thought it possible but in the comments I see I am not the only one with this issue.

[@RagsKinnigoly]

thank you so much, found piece of cloth in there..

[@idothisforfun8855]

Thanks a mill. I fixed my Samsung Washer, just watching your clip. I had the round paper from inside of the detergent top container stuck in the hose. Who knows how it got there, but I will address the Nanny later. Any hoot thanks.

[@robkamstra]

Thank you. Worked great.

[@onedreamis4eyes]

Awesome! Thanks do much for sharing!
