Hi everyone,
I'm in desperate need of help with my Kenmore 70 series washer model number 110.24722300. I noticed water pooling under the washer a few days ago and assumed that the tub overflowed. Upon further examination it would appear that the plastic tub has a crack in it. The crack is located at the base of one of the "fins". The underside of the tub appears to have 3 fins that are approx 1/8" thick, 2" deep and 2" long. They serve no purpose from what I can tell. It looks as though the fin has knocked into the metal base of the washer causing the fracture. The fin adjacent to the cracked one shows signs of knocking into the frame as well. I also noticed that there are two little plastic cups that are mounted to the frame. These can be seen here:
If anyone has any suggestions I would be more than grateful to hear them. I just applied some silicone to the crack in hopes that this may buy me a little more time. My confidence level is not very high as the material appears to be PP or PE and thus hard to adhere to. I would also like to understand why this happened in the first place. Thank you in advance.
