Inglis Washer leaking water
If your Inglis washer is leaking, start by locating where the water appears and checking the most likely causes first. A cracked or damaged drain pump, or worn pump bearings, can cause a washing machine leak, especially when the washer is draining. Because the drain pump is not repairable, replace it if it is leaking. Next, inspect the washer hoses, including the tub-to-pump hose, for cracks, loose connections, or other damage. A torn tub seal can allow water to reach the tub bearing, so replace the tub seal and tub bearing together when either is leaking. This repair requires disassembling much of the washer. If the leak is near the front, check that the dispenser drawer is fully closed and not cracked. On front-load models, using the wrong detergent or too much detergent can create excessive suds that escape through the overflow system. Whether your washer is leaking from the bottom, underneath, or during a cycle, enter your model number to find the exact replacement drain pump, hose, tub seal and bearing kit, or dispenser drawer for your specific Inglis washing machine.
01 - Inglis Washing Machine Drain Pump
The drain pump pumps water out the drain hose. If the drain pump is cracked or damaged, or if the bearings are worn out, the drain pump may leak water. The drain pump is not repairable—if the pump is leaking water, replace it.

02 - Inglis Washing Machine Hose
Hoses apart from the fill hose or drain hose could be reponsible for a leaking washer. You should inspect all of the appliance's hoses, such as tub-to-pump hoses, for damage or loose connections and replace if necessary.

03 - Inglis Washing Machine Tub Seal and Bearing Kit
The tub seal might be torn, causing water to leak from the seal. If the tub seal is leaking water, water may leak through the tub seal and into the tub bearings. This can cause the bearings to fail. For this reason, if the tub seal is leaking water, replace both the tub seal and the tub bearings. Be aware that this is a complicated repair and will require disassembling most of the washer.

The tub seal might be torn, causing water to leak from the seal. If the tub seal is leaking water, water may leak through the tub seal and into the tub bearings. This can cause the bearings to fail. For this reason, if the tub seal is leaking water, replace both the tub seal and the tub bearings. Be aware that this is a complicated repair and will require disassembling most of the washer.

05 - Inglis Washing Machine Dispenser Drawer
If a washer is leaking water, you should confirm the dispenser drawer is completely closed and free of damage. If the drawer is cracked, the component could be responsible for the leak and should be replaced.

06 - Wrong type or incorrect amount of detergent
If you have a front-load washer, be certain that you are using an HE - high efficiency - detergent. HE detergent is formulated to be low-sudsing and to be used with the lower water levels utilized by front-load washers. Front-load washers have a small overflow system usually on the back of the appliance. If you have too many suds, they are probably escaping from there.
Highly Likely
07 - Inglis Washing Machine Transmission
Since the transmission shaft extends into a top-load washer's inner tub, a transmission bearing or tub seal that is damaged could potentially cause the tub to leak near the motor area. For some models, these components may only be sold as an assembly, you may need to replace the entire transmission assembly to solve the leaking problem.
