Tub Seal and Bearing Kit
The tub seal provides the primary waterproof barrier between the rotating drive shaft and the stationary outer tub. Over time, the elastomer lip wears down or is compromised by detergent buildup, allowing water to bypass the seal and travel down the shaft into the drive assembly. This results in a persistent leak from the center-bottom of the machine, often accompanied by rust or grease spotting.

Drain Pump Assembly
The drain pump utilizes an internal mechanical seal and a plastic volute housing that is susceptible to stress cracking or internal seal failure. If the impeller seal fails, water will exit through the pump's weep hole or the motor shaft interface. This causes water to pool on the floor directly beneath the pump's location at the bottom of the cabinet.

Tub-to-Pump Bellows Hose
This EPDM rubber hose connects the outer tub to the drain pump and is designed to flex during the high-speed spin cycle. Frequent oscillation can lead to stress-induced fatigue cracks in the bellows or a loosening of the tension clamps. Once the integrity of this connection is lost, water will escape during the drain or agitation phases and collect at the base.
