WHIRLPOOL washer model #LBR4132JQ1 leaks on large load not small?

It could very well be a slice in the outer tub. To check, you need to remove the cabinet shell. About 1'; in from each side on the bottom part of the console there are phillips screws. Remove these two screws and the console will then flip up. There are 2 clips, one on either side that attach the back plate to the cabinet. Remove these clips and un plug the lid switch. Tilt the cabinet toward you and lift off. With the cabinet off you can fill the inner tub and watch where the water comes from with a full load. If it is a hole in the outer tub, you have to decide if you want to repair it or get another machine.

I had a MAYTAG that was still under warranty and I figured out that the


inner seal and bearing was leaking at the center of the drum.


I was told that they would pay for the parts, but the repair person wanted about $150 or more for the labor. It would only do it on larger loads which were more stress on that bearing and seal. It ended up having cracking supports for the drum and was not worth fixing, and


not worth buying another Maytag again. Good luck
I had that problem and it was the liner-(plastic basket the metal drum sits in) not worth fixing. The part is around $100. + labor. It was about 15 yrs old.
