[QUOTE="Mamaof5, post: 399766"] Has the hoses been checked and the run off into the drain been checked? Are they tight enough, are you sure it's from the bottom of the washer and not the run off hose not being placed properly. Most common leakage issues are the input hoses (the hot and cold water hoses) the source of water from the taps or the run off hose or output hose. Sometimes there is a split in one of the hoses that leaks slowly over time making it look like a bottom of washer leak. It's about 70 bucks to have a tech walk, research the companies that do repairs first and find one that will tell you if it is worth fixing, what needs to be fixed or if it's just better to buy a new one (aka, for me second hand is new know what I mean). If you have the VA set up yet maybe they can help you with a washer, a dryer is not considered necessity but a washer may be considered necessity. I just found out my self employment program through our version of welfare will pay for a washer for us because of the kids and it being considered necessity. We just have to get a quote and estimate from a store that sells appliances and they will pay them direct and have the washer brought to us. Go figure, at least I can wash clothes and then hang dry them. Too bad it wasn't the dryer, it's easy to hang and dry even in the winter time with a few clothing racks. Hope this helped and I pray it works out for you. [/QUOTE]
