My Kenmore front load washer model # 79640272900 leaks foam out the bottom back part of the washer.

I have taken the back of the washer off and tried to observe the leak while running the washer but could not see anything. It doesn't foam all the time. just every now and then but when it does, there is a lot of foam.

I know that it can be very frustrating to have this type of problem with the washer. Excessive suds could be causing water to leak out of this vent. Make sure that you are using HE (High Efficiency) detergent in the washer. Using too much detergent can cause the washer to oversuds. You will normally not need more than a tablespoon of detergent for most loads in the washer.

If you do not detect excessive suds in the washer, then you could have a component problem with that vent. If you need further assistance, please reply to this thread. Thank you for using Manage My Life.

This is a great place to go for advice, especially if you're low on funds and you could resolve the problem before calling and paying a service call, if it's an easy fix. I'm glad you are there for me.
