(2) water begins to drain after wash; tub begins to spin. (3) rinse water starts to come in; leak begins. (4) leak “appears” to be at front of machine (most visible / heavy leak). Q1) Any idea of a possible problem ? Q2) If possible problem has to do with part: Gasket Tub: (Q2a) will major pieces need to be removed ? Agitator Asm; Basket Asm; Tub Asm; (Q2b) will special tools be needed for this ? Q3) In searching database for past problems, found how to release two front clamps to raise front of top panel. (Q3a) are there more clamps to remove before top panel is clear ? (Q3b) must I remove backsplash before top panel is clear ? (Q3c) can backsplash be removed as “one piece” ? Q4) In searching database for past problems, saw many discussions on “removing the front panel” on other models. The outer case for this machine seems to be one piece for at least 3 sides. Must I remove screws/etc on the back panel to remove the outer case ? Q5) Is this type of repair something a “true novice” should try ? Never worked on a washing machine before. What are the “real” chances that this fix will work ? Is the effort worth it for something 15-20 years old ? Might other parts be close to failing ?
