Have a Maytag Bravo 300 Series topload washer that started to leak water. I thought it was a pump. Took the back off and watched while it ran through a cycle. It looks like it starts to leak when it goes to the spin cycle. I can see water (have it on a drip pan) start to appear on the pan when the spin cycle starts and I can feel water spray as it spins. Checked the pumps and they seem to be okay. Put washer through 2 whole cycles and water did not appear until it started to spin. It looks like it is coming from the bottom of the tub where there is some kind of plate type fixture on the bottom. The water appears in a circular fashion as if the spinning motion is spraying the water in a circular pattern. There is not a lot of water, maybe 2 cups worth after a full soak\rinse\spin cycle.

You have a blown seal or bad bearing or cracked tub..........but with circular fashion of leak as you stated during spin more then likely it's a bad seal or bearing which basically means you need to rebuild the whole machine. Contact whirlpool with your problem and see if they'll do anything about it you shouldn't have that problem that quick on a unit already.
