Gibson Washer leaking water
Is your Gibson washer leaking water? Start by checking the drain pump, the most likely source of a washing machine leak. A cracked pump housing, damaged pump, or worn pump bearings can allow water to leak from the bottom, and the drain pump must be replaced rather than repaired. Next, inspect the washer hoses, including tub-to-pump hoses, for splits, loose connections, or other damage. A torn tub seal can also cause a washer leaking water problem. Water may reach the tub bearings and damage them, so replace the tub seal and bearing kit when both parts are affected. Replacing the tub seal requires substantial disassembly. If the leak is near the front of the machine, check that the dispenser drawer is fully closed and free of cracks or damage. On a front-load washer, using the wrong detergent or too much detergent can create excess suds that escape through the overflow system. Use HE detergent in the correct amount. Enter your Gibson washer model number to find the exact replacement drain pump, hose, tub seal, bearing kit, or dispenser drawer for your specific washing machine.
01 - Gibson 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 - Gibson 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 - Gibson 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 - Gibson 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 - Gibson 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.
