My washing machine empties as it is filling up. It seems to fix the problem if I make the load lighter by taking out some of the clothes. I don't overfill the machine to cause the issue. I simply can't do larger than small load amounts or it won't work right. Has a part possibly gone bad? I have also checked that the out hose in the back is not lower than the filled level of the maching, with no change in issue...

Assuming the motor isn’t running during fill the water is siphoning out and can be caused by a few things.
- The drainpipe to your house may be too low and you either need to extend the pipe up above the top of the tub or run the drain hose from your washer up high.
- Someone may have taped the drain hose from the washer to the drainpipe to your house to stop the water from backing up. To fix this either clean out the drainpipe to your house and remove the tape or install a siphon break, part number 76660
- If the drain hose from your washer is pushed down the drainpipe too far, this will also cause the same problem. To fix it just pull it out to within about 6 inches of the end of the drainpipe.

My machine is doing the same thing, but the water is coming from under the machine, not the drain pipe.
As the water is going in, it empties from the bottom.

It is a Whirlpool LBR2121DW0 and it's about 15 to 17 years old.

The most common place for these washers to leak is the water pump. Remove the case as shown on this page Whirlpool Washer Disassembly Guide and check for leaks at the pump. You can run water in with the case off just make sure the fill funnel is lined up so that the water will run into the tub.
