A number of different washer components could be causing this leak. I recommend that you check the fill hoses on the back of the washer first. See if the washer drain is working properly and check the drain hose for leaks. The next step would be to unplug the washer and shut off the water supply. Pull the washer forward and carefully tilt it back against the wall so that you can check the drain pump and recirculation pump under the tub for leaks. Make sure that the washer is stable once you tilt it back. Use wood blocks if necessary to keep it from sliding. NOTE: Do not conduct this inspection if you are not completely confident that you can safely position the washer in a tilted back position.
Carefully check the drain pump and recirculation pump for evidence of leaking. You may see water stains or water dripping form the pump. Check the connecting hoses as well. Check the bottom of the outer washer tub for cracks or leaks as well. If you find that the leak is coming from the motor area, then the outer tub will likely need to be replaced. I recommend that you have a technician complete this type of repair. Here is a link for the Sears Service website in case you need it: Sears Home Services .
If you find no evidence of leaking at the bottom of the washer, you can reposition the washer in the upright orientation and pop open the top. With the top hinged open, you can check the dispenser hoses and recirculation hose at the top of the washer. A leak in this area will cause the symptom that you are describing.
These tips should help you find the leak. If you find the leak and need parts, you can order them from the Sears PartsDirect website.
