Kenmore Elite Washer leaks during all wash loads ...
whenever liquid is poured into "Liquid Bleach Filler" appears to go straight thru to floor via side of the wash tub ... not sure if that would or could account for the leak during all washes even when no liquid is added into the bleach fill.

Hopefully this a clear rendition of dilemma and makes sense to anyone who can assist !!

Thanks for any and all help !

Bleach leaks happen all the time.

Although Kenmore Elite doe not qualify as a model number so much as a general brand(why is this so hard to do?), your bleach dispenser is likely connected thru a small tube or a plastic funnel into the tub from the main top.

It could be sonething as basic as a hose which has slipped loose from the bleach cup. Now you must expose the cabinet interior and see for yourself. Here's how to open 'er up:


As of now, I am assuming your Elite is a top loader, not a front loader, since no model number was provided.
