Speed Queen Washer leaking water
If your Speed Queen washer is leaking, start by checking the drain pump, the most likely cause. A cracked pump, damaged housing, or worn pump bearings can let water escape, and a leaking drain pump is not repairable, so replace it. Next, inspect the washing machine hoses, including tub-to-pump hoses, for splits, loose connections, or other damage. If your washer is leaking from the bottom, a torn tub seal may be allowing water to reach the tub bearings. Replace the tub seal and bearings together when the seal leaks, but expect a difficult repair that requires disassembling much of the machine. A cracked or damaged dispenser drawer can also cause a washer leak, so make sure the drawer closes fully and replace it if necessary. For a front-load Speed Queen washer, use the correct amount of HE detergent. Regular or excessive detergent creates too many suds, which can escape through the washer’s overflow system. Whether you need a drain pump, hose, tub seal and bearing kit, or dispenser drawer, enter your model number to find the exact replacement part for your specific washing machine.
01 - Speed Queen 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 - Speed Queen 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 - Speed Queen 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.

05 - Speed Queen 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 - Speed Queen 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.
