how to stop a whirlpool washer from leaking?

most likely leaking from the pump, or the black rubber pipe that links the drum to the pump.the black rubber pipe is held onto the drum and the pump by a spring clip .if either of these clips have snapped ,the join is not water tight and will leak,.its also possible for the rubber hose mentioned above to split.you will have to gain access to the pump to inspect .it is also possible to leak from one of the rubber hoses off the inlet valve,to check this remove washer lid and inspect all intake hoses including the pipe connected to the top of the drum.also inspect the grey drain pipe on the rear of the machine for splits especially where it enters the back panel of the washing machine.
