My Kenmore washing machine is leaking?

Unplug the washer.
Unscrew the two Philips screws at the corners of the control panel. Pull the bottom of the panel forward about 1/4" and then lift it up and over the back.
Unplug the three-wire plug (goes to the safety lid switch)
Open the plastic cover and undo the three spring hoseclamps. Remove the hoses from the plastic nozzels.
Remove the outer washing maching body by pulling the back up and forward. It will behave as though it's hinged at the bottom front, but after a certain height it will lift away. Some water will drain from the hoses in the lid.
The tub lid is attached to the clear plastic tub by several snaps. Push down on the white plastic lid while pulling the snaps free. Make sure you go all the way around the lid. Then lift it off. The seal is under the lid.
Assemble in reverse order. Good luck, Chris
