How To Fix A Leaking Washing Machine Kenmore 80 Series DIY

- amzn.to/18ZxRQo This is where I got my pump. It worked great! It's actually a Whirlpool pump because they made these machines for Kenmore. The part # on mine was 3363394. You will want to check yours and make sure it the same thing. This same dis-assembly and assembly will probably work similar for other makes and models but this is specifically for Kenmore 80 Series. I hope this can be of help to others and same you a lot of money doing this yourself. If I saved you a lot of money on repairs would you consider donating to my channel so I can keep making repair videos? Check out the donate button in the "about" section of my channel. Thanks.

I am a 71 year old woman and with his helpful instructions was able to replace my pump and it worked.. So thankful as it not only saved me money, but was able to keep my machine as I have not heard of good reports on the newer ones. Thanks.
+Mary Miller Wow awesome good to hear!! Glad it helped to save you money and keep your machine going! That's a good feeling. Great job I'm impressed not just any 71 year old would tackle something like this! 😀
Where did you order the parts?
I have a link in the video description below the video where I got mine.
Smart Easy DIY yes, I saw it later and just ordered it. I opened up my kenmoor but I didn’t see anything obvious. I touched the hose that was connected to back output panel. See the picture here:

I didn’t see any clip there and it was wet. I will replace the pump and see.
@@DaddyMi777 Ok awesome best of luck!
Thank you! Wife is not geting a new washer yet!
+Noe Sanchez Haha good for you! Maybe next time she will..
No need to remove the screws from the back of the panel. They actually aid when tilting the control panel up and it rests more gently.
Good video, please retitle: "How to change water pump on Kenmore 80 Series DIY" since this is the only issue that the video addresses and will not fix all leaks on the model.
This was great! I am not an experienced person repairing things at home and this was completely helpful. I had fun fixing my machine! Thanks for taking the time to share this with the rest of us!
You're welcome glad if it helped. ;)
This was right on the money (and saved us a bunch of it). Your camera work was better than the great majority of TH-cam videos out there. Thank you so much!
Well thanks. I've def learned a lot since making this video. I'm glad if it helped you!
I couldn't figure out how to disassemble my washer so I started looking up videos. You showed me exactly what needed to be done. AND my leak happened to be coming from the water pump as well. Very helpful video. Thanks!
Awesome I’m glad it helped. Good job fixing it!!
I am also a senior lady~~ of 74--I tackled this job and the only difficulty was removing the old pump. After soaking for a day I went back at it. Beat, pried , jiggled and finally off it came!! Whew! Of course the shaft was rusty--so I cleaned it and sanded and added a little petroleum jelly to ease the new one on. I held my breath when turning on the water~~ but so far all is good! Saved me a visit from a repairman. This is an older Kenmore and as long as it keeps going I am happy!!
+Sandra Church Wow awesome good for you!! I'm proud of you not giving up but keeping at it! :) way to go I hope it keeps going for you!
Beat, pried and jiggled..... Ya but did ya try moving the pump !!! Hahhhaaah Hahhhaaah I'm just clowning around, sorry
Paul, thanks for taking the time to make this video. It is very helpful.
Also, note Cliff's comment is a time-saver.
Ok great thanks for the feedback. Yeah Thanks Cliff..
I am now an official rock star appliance lady :) thanks so much to your video! last week i replaced my heating element on dryer ~ thanks to TH-cam help! in the meantime My washer had been leaking only a little bit for this last month, then today ~ there was a mighty creek flowing out of the garage coming from under the front of the washer!
I cant say enough how helpful your video is! Thank you thank you thank you ~ happy Saturday & Happy Easter!
Thanks. That was a good story! Great job on your repair!! Happy Easter!
My son and I followed your video step by step and encountered the same problem you did with getting the old drain pump off the spindle. The plastic was fused onto the metal with rust and friction. We had to tear and cut the old plastic pump apart and cut and scrape the plastic off the spindle. Took an hour. Then sanded off the spindle with metal sandpaper. Everything else was pretty straightforward.
Now the machine is fixed and works beautifully with no leak. We're so grateful to you for posting this video.
Well thank you I appreciate that. I'm so glad it helped you! I'm glad you got the rust figured out cuz yes that can be a pain sometimes. Good job!!
This is our exact machine! And the exact symptoms! You have saved me a great deal of grief. Thanks, so much!
+Chester Bishop Thanks I'm glad it helped you. Good luck on your repair!
Thank you soo freakin much! We were doing our laundry at the laundry mat for six months before I stumbled on to this video. $13 and 30 minutes later and our wash machine works perfectly. Thank you again!
Haha you're welcome glad it saved you from going to the laundry mat cuz that gets to be a pain!!
Just fixed mine today! Thought I was going to have to take all the screws off the back but this video saved me the headache :) Took about 20 minutes to change out the pump. I spent another hour just cleaning all the filth in between the drums. Thanks for the video!!!
You're welcome. Glad it helped. Good job on the repair!!
Thank U so much this video. I actually ordered the pump and after I opened it, found out it was actually the hose coming from the pump that was leaking. I still wouldn't have been able to open it and repair had it not been for this great Video. U saved me money and time. Thank U so much for this video.. 👍👍
You’re very welcome. I’m glad it was an easy fix. Thanks for letting me know.
We were about to buy a new one when I came across this video, saved me lots! Thank YOU!
Awesome I'm glad it helped!
Thank you sir! This is an outstanding video. So easy to follow, step-by-step. No apologies needed, my friend. This was perfect!
Awesome thank you so much! I’m glad it was helpful. Great job!!
Thank you so much! This was super helpful. I have now repaired both my dryer and washer that are over 25 years old for less than $60! I really appreciate you taking the time to post this. I couldn't have done it without you! My husband is thrilled.
+Karen Diamond You're welcome I'm so glad it helped you! Good job on your repair!!
Hey, so I do have a question. The bottom front is a bit higher than the back so the unit is tilted slightly back. I never noticed it before but its possible it was always like this. I took it apart again and tried to hook the lip underneath the frame in front, but it just wont go together unless I rest it on top of the frame. Does this make any sense?

9 years later and this video is as helpful as ever!! 😄. Mine started to leak last night.
Thank you! Wow I hope you get it fixed.
@@SmartEasyDIYer me too. Ordered the part off Amazon and it's arriving tomorrow. It's like they all ready have this part in stock becuase it's the first thing people order 😂
😁👍
@@SmartEasyDIYer update: this wasn't the problem. But I found another video that helped me on how to jump the machine so that I can remove the the outer shell and start the washer to find where the leak is coming from. Wish me luck. th-cam.com/video/RgoKHeJXCb8/w-d-xo.html
@@layzy24where was the leak coming from
Thanks for the great video , Ordered the part and my son and I fixed it as per your video . Thanks again!
Awesome great job!!
Thank you for this awesome video. This is exactly what is happening with my Kenmore Series 80 washer! Now I will order the part and get to it. My wife will think I am a hero! lol...
+xKmotx Haha awesome best of luck to you!
After finally verifying it was definitely the pump, I used this tutorial to switch in a new one. Easy as pie. I finished in no time and its working great. Thanks for the fantastic tutorial!
+Alec Yellallthetime Awesome thank you great job on your repair!! Sorry for the video quality it was one of my first.
how did you verify it was definitely the pump? that's the only point of confusion for me
Yeah, I would like to know also. Mine was leaking water earlier this week but not sure where from.@@MemphianSounds
Very detailed instructions for even me, a female, with the same washer problem. I do believe I can fix mine myself. Thanks so much for taking the time to post this video.
Your welcome. I hope it works out great for you.. Good luck!
Thank you! This was very helpful. With no experience I was able to replace the pump.
Awesome great job!! 👍👊💪
Ditto what Ruby said! My husband hates working on household appliances (Tractors, combines, etc. are his thing!) The thought of shelling out $$$ to a repairman so close to Christmas was really disheartening. Your video showed me I've got this! Thank you!!
Hey so glad it was helpful to you! I appreciate the feedback. :) Good luck with it.
Thank you thank you thank you so much you saved us alot of money and my husband was really impressed that i fixed it all by myself well without his help thank you again
Wow that's so awesome good job!!! I'm glad this helped you.
Wow! This was so helpful, I really appreciate it! After watching your video, it was simple to take off the housing and discover that I needed to replace the same piece. I ordered it and will have a non-leaking washing machine in just a few days because of you! Thanks!
+Lucas Gentry Thanks I'm glad it helped! Good luck :)
Worked as described. The only way to remove the old pump was to destroy it and it was near impossible to remove even then. Thanks for the walk through.
Great job I'm glad you got it!
This video helped tremendously. I am a 40+ female who is mechanically inclined and prefers to be self-reliant (appliance issues tend to happen at the least convenient moment, right?). I was able to disassemble my washing machine, clean it inside and out and complete the needed repairs easily after watching this video. I really appreciate your thorough instruction. Thank you for providing such useful content!
Note to other gals out there: I am 5' 4" and my washer is in a tight space so very little room in which to work. All it takes is common sense, a couple of basic tools and patience to make this repair so if you're wondering if you can do this, you can! :)
+Jen G Wow awesome good for you!!! I'm so proud of you! Great job!! Looking back I wish I would've done a better job on the video but it was one of my first so Ive learned a lot since then too. :)
One of your first videos? You did an excellent job explaining and performing the repair in real time so good for you! I think you did a fine job making this video. I see from the other comments below that I am not the only gal who tackled this repair with your helpful instruction, too. Nice work! Thanks again!
+Jen G Thanks. Yes looking back I wish I had a better setup so I wasn't as shaky or moved around so much. After this I mostly ventured into phone repairs with this channel but I recently started another channel that will be all about repairs around the house etc. th-cam.com/channels/cXoLFNLZNKM7JSU8vTB4-w.html so I'm having fun with that. :)
Smart Easy Repair I'll check out your other channel on home repairs. Thanks for the link. Looking forward to learning more from you. :)
I actually decided to just focus on one channel and branch out into a little more on just this channel.
Thank You Paul!!!
Awesome... You walked me right through it... I just ordered the part on Amazon... But... I J.B. Welded the broken pump... It works perfect!!! Everything I own is J.B. Welded!!! I love that stuff!!! My guitars, my guns, my truck now even my washing machine... Awesome!!! Thanx Again!!!
Hey you're welcome glad I could help! Yeah jb weld is good stuff! haha
Very helpful video. Thank you! Best part was the sound track. Sounds like Bruce Molsky who is one of my favorite musicians.
Thanks. Yes it is I like him a lot too!
Video was well done, very helpful, replaced my pump without issue and no more leak!
Awesome I’m glad it helped! Thanks
Thank you so much for taking time to do this! Much appreciated!
+Elizabeth Nielsen You're welcome.
I just did this, it worked! The crazy part, I found one of my kid’s sock inside the pump!! I used needlenose pliers to pull it out (in shreds), unbelievable, I fixed it!!
Wow that’s crazy!! Awesome job though way to go!! 👍👊
Thanks for the helpful video, had a hose leaking due to a loose clamp. Figured it would be the pump but got lucky and didn't have to buy any parts.
+Jeff Anton wow good for you I'm glad that's all it was.
Dude, that was a phenomenal video! Very informative and easy to understand. Well done
Thanks I’m glad if it helped!!
It was my washer pump for sure, had a small crack in it and water was squirting out like crazy. Your step by step instructions was perfect. Thank you. Had a heck of a time getting the darn cabinet back on, cut my finger on the edge of the cabinet. I watch another video on how to put the cabinet back on. I did it. My husband will be proud of me. He's working out of town right now. Well anyway thanks again for your video. God Bless You!
Hey good job glad you got it figured out! I'm proud of you too! Take care. God bless too. :)
Awesome job, exactly what I needed!! Thanks so much for taking the time and effort to do this and post it. Cheers!!
Awesome I’m glad it helped! Thanks 👍👊
You're making a little tough on yourself. The two plastic pieces you take off first are the hinges for the top. You just need to pop off the end caps, remove the two screws underneath, and the control panel will flip back without hanging it by the wires. There's no need to pull the machine away from the wall.
Thanks cliff.
Cliff, indeed, I started from the two end caps. Thanks!
Thanks for this great video! Was able to get the job done same day and for $150 less.
+M MV Awesome I'm glad it helped save you money. Great job!!
Thank you! I even love the calming music. Great video!
Thanks I’m glad it was helpful. 👍👊
thanx for heads up, just knowing how to disassemble and diagnose a small leak has saved me at least a hundred bux (more than likely old lady would just run out and buy another new machine with no parts avail, lol).
You're welcome. I'm glad it helped you! Take care.
Great explanation. Very well documented, in a friendly manner. Thanks!
Thank you I appreciate it!
Thank you friend for the excellent video. Just had a major leak with my Kenmore washer. I'm not as fortunate to have a drain in my upstairs area where my washer/dryer combo is located.
These water leaks always ruin my upstairs ceiling whether it be a leaky washer, faulty toilet inlet hose, or a breach in the shower line behind the walls, there is always water damage even
possible mold if not corrected. A ball shut-off valve at the side of the house at the main water entrance is always good to have and to use whenever leaving the house for even a day. Thanks
again friend.
You're welcome glad I could help!
I never would have figured out how to get to the motor. haha Thanks for the video!
Awesom glad it helped.
Unbelievably helpful! I can't thank you enough.
+Thomas van Geel Awesome thank you!!
I guess this would be the same way to take a part of the 90 series. Mine just started leaking. Very good step by step. Now I got to order a washer pump.
Yeah it should be quite similar I think. Good luck with it!
Thank you so much for this video clips which help me to replace the Washer internal drain hose. It cost me only $15 for the hose @ Sears. :)
Great instruction video.
Thanks I appreciate that. I'm glad it helped!
How could you tell that it was the internal drain hose? My 80 series is leaking & I've already replaced the pump; it continues to leak water (a lot) that runs down the back internal post.
Nice job, very helpful. One note, when you put the screws/clips back in (last step of assembly, at about 12:30) on the back of the washer, you didn't tuck the metal 'ears' on the inside of the plastic, there's a place to do that, they were outside, so the metal just past the screws bent out when you tightened them. But the video was very helpful, thanks.
Thanks for the tip. I appreciate the comment. 😊
Great video!. It helped me take apart my washer to replace the water valves. I have a sears washer and it was very easy to order the exact replacement part from Sears at a reasonable price. Thanks
Mark Hilburger Thanks glad it helped you! Good job.
Hello. I'll echo many of these statements. Thanks for posting this. Changed my water pump out this afternoon. Smooth sailing all the way :)
Hey great job! Glad it worked for you!
Very helpful information, though I was hoping to find a leaking hose that I could cut the end off and reassemble.
Thanks. Sometimes it’s easy like that but not always.
This was a very helpful video. I have a Kenmore 90 series and the procedure and layout was identical to this series 80. Thanks a bunch Paul W.
Hey you're welcome glad I could help.
northtrader n,
Thumbs up for showing how the plastic pivot latches went in. Those were a head scratcher for a while. (tabs go behind the control panel frame so they don't get bent)
You’re welcome
very good close ups. thank you. this was very helpful
+Bob Bard Thanks glad it helped!
Great video, everything went together like a champ!
Awesome I’m glad it worked for you!
Very good video. I would just like to suggest that a zip tie be placed around the discharge hose to the hot and cold water hoses. This prevents the discharge hose from backing out during the pumping out of the water during cycles. My motto, if it can happen it will.
Yes sounds like a good idea. 😊 thanks for sharing.
Thank you! This helped me a lot!
Awesome! Thanks
excellent calm manner ...thanks
ape man.
Thank you for the video, saved me a lot if money.
Awesome great to hear!!
Thanks man! This video saved me a lot of time and money.
Awesome glad I could help!
Great video. Explains a lot. Thank you 😊
Thanks 😊
Great help thank you so much for posting!!
jackson niemann You're welcome glad it helped you!
Thanks for making this video. Saved me a bunch of time today. TH-cam University!
+Joe Hanly Awesome I'm glad! Yeah TH-cam is the best for that. :)
Man you save me alot of money thank you.
Awesome I’m so glad!! 👍👊
Thanks for putting together this video. Most appliances are pretty easy to work on if you know what you're doing (ie where the fasteners are, what clips to undo). I interned at GE's washing machine plant doing quality assurance and tore apart a few hundred of those machines, unfortunately they are totally different than these Kenmore machines. anyhow, this video saved me a bunch of time and money.
Hey thanks glad to help!
Greattt video very helpful.... I changed everything by myself👍👍👍👍
+innocentchocolate Thank you awesome good for you great job!!
WELL EXPLAINED, THANK YOU SIR.
Awesome! Thanks
thanks you saved me time and money as well!!!! thanxs so much!!!!
SO glad I could help! Thanks for the feedback it means a lot! :)
just got the part today. 20 bucks. 15 minutes to install.....AWESOME!
Awesome good job!!
funny, I have a second one now to repair, and that pump is only 10 bucks...lol
+9toesracing Yeah good for you!
Great video, thanks for sharing!
+Michael Hamel Thanks.
Thanks a lot for this video. It was the water pump (ebay $12.58) . Everything was easy to perform, except I did have some trouble with replacing the outer shell back. Nonetheless, you saved me $$$.....
+MARTIN JAQUEZ HIGNOJOZ Awesome glad to know it helped!
On the Series 80 washer, can you lift the top up and off instead of pulling the whole case forward and off?
You saved us a washerful of money!
Thanks glad it helped!
Thank a lot this helped a lot
+Steven Mazurek You're welcome.
Excellent job
Thanks! Glad it helped.
great job fella. thanks
Thanks I’m glad it was helpful.
Thank you for your help.
You're welcome glad I could help!
Thanks so much for posting! You save me a ton of $$$
Thanks glad it helped you!
The front box may not simply slide off. Mine was screwed to the frame on the bottom rail about 1/4” off the floor.
I suggest checking that FIRST before starting to unscrew the top area. Otherwise, you won’t be able to tip the machine back to access those bottom frame screws.
1:25
Why did you take the hinges off to flip the top back? Isn’t that what hinges are for?
Then you just had to put them back in (backwards too it seems) and they never served their purpose. 12:30
Oh yeah I took everything a part and I was running it and the water leaks from the middle on top like in the middle I think it's a washer but idk how to get to it cause ima have to disassemble so I can get wright to the middle lol
Yeah good luck with it I hope you can figure it out ok..
Very Helpful Thank you for your time. Fixing it was easy. getting it apart was my problem...BobZee
Thanks. Glad you got it fixed!
That’s real nice that you have a drain there!
It was super handy! Lol
Thanks for the usefull video,.
You’re welcome I’m glad it was helpful!
Thank you very helpful!
Thanks I'm glad it helped.
Why the apologies? Please take instead a huge thank you from me instead! I've repaired a few items around my home but thought this was beyond my ability. With your help I was wrong. Note to Dads: teach your daughters this stuff. Where would we be w/o TH-cam and helpful people like you. God bless.
Thanks so much I appreciate that a lot! Great job I’m proud of you!! Blessings
Thanks for this very helpful video! One question: Can it be the water pump if the machine is leaking on fill up?. My machine Has a moderate trickle from the front center right on fill up
You're welcome.. It sounds like it may be a hose or connection somewhere in your case..
Best on the internet
Thank you!
Thanks for the video. What condition what the pump in when you inspected?
You're welcome. My pump was in really bad shape when it started leaking.. It was rusted on to the shaft.. Pretty bad.
Thank you!
+Colleenand Doug You're welcome.
Hello, the shaft that holds on the water pump is really rusty and I’m having a problem removing the old water pump. Any suggestions on how to remove the old water pump? Thank you for the video
You’re welcome. Mine was very rusty too but it mostly just crumbled off I think. I had to use a vise grip pliers to just break the last bit of I think. Then I sanded the shaft again to remove the rust so the new one went back on.
I would have never thought they came apart like that! THANKS SO MUCH!
How did you determine it was the pump?
TIP MAYBE: It looks like the machine could be run with the housing off? That was be awesome way to see where the leak is coming from. (I'm going to try it on mine - things never seem to go the way they should when I'm facing a repair, LOL)
Again, THANKS SO MUCH for the video. Getting the housing off is a puzzle few could solve.
You’re welcome I’m glad if it was helpful. My pump ended up being completely cracked and I could see it.
@@SmartEasyDIYer Thanks for the cracked info! (I still can't believe how the body comes off that washer (!) ) Thanks again.
Cool video !
Thanks man. Glad it helped. :)
I don't take the washer apart, I just pull the washer three foot to the front and lie it to the back , put a towel and small bucket , and remove the old pump with a small chanel locks and put the new one, 15 minutes fix. I work in an apts complex, you make a lit bit complicated.
Awesome thanks for sharing the tips 👍
Hello. Where exactly was your leak in the front? We have a leak on the top front between the top strip that’s about an inch tall and the bottom large part. Wondering if it’s the same problem or different. Thank you!
You’re welcome. Mine was in the middle bottom front.
Thank you very much!
Your welcome glad I could help!
I have a different brand machine and its dripping water inside it I might try this and hopefully that will fix it. It's annoying to have to turn the water off every time the wash is done.
Yeah it is annoying. I think they should be designed quite similar.
Thanks so much for helping me, a single mother, avoid incurring unnecessary costs! :) Some repair shops like to send us women down the river with the charges!
Hey glad it helped you! Yeah I know how it is with repairs. Thanks.
I have the exact same washer and it is also leaking from bottom. I'm wondering, is it definitely the pump? Is there a sure fire way to tell before I buy the pump and replace it?
+Alec Noe If you can block it up and look underneath it while it's pumping it may just be the hose has a leak too.
Hi,
I have a question. My father Kenmore 80 series washer machine leaking water underneath when water is Medium or High. Is it because of water pump too?
It could be just a loose pipe maybe. It’d be worth tipping back and looking underneath see what you can see.
