first of, you need to find out where the water is originating from, pull washer away from wall and look for water dripping. usually water leakage starts from pump. on this washer there is a circulation pump and a drain pump on bottom left and right side. check all hoses and enure that there is no pin holes started
The water leaking on floor can be a serious issue as this may cause the inside
parts to malfunction or in some cases rusting of the body. To check where
exactly it is leaking; inspect the leak while it is running. After the cycle is
complete quickly turn off the power, lie down the machine on left/right side
and check from where the water is leaking. If it is the hose or drain pump then
check whether hose is connected firmly and is not cut. If it not the hose/pump
inspect if the leak is on the drum corner or anywhere back of the
drum. However, if it is leaking from the circumference then it is due to
transmission seal. To replace the transmission seal you'll need to disassemble
the washer and the drum assembly.
Please post back in case of any issues. Hope
this helps...

The pad is an insulation pad to keep heat in the washer. It might be worth pulling the washer out and checking the water feed and drain connections - it's a good bet one of these is leaking.
Probably a bad water pump. That is were the Kenmore usually leaks.
2 screws on the top panel right and left sides.
Remove these screws, tilt the control head backwards.
Remove the wiring harhess connector.
Remove 2 clips holding the cabinet to the back panel.
Remove the cabinet by pulling forward.
Pump is attached to front of motor.
to jim, you may want to check the water pump closer, sometimes the water pump will leak a little during a cycle and the water will leak somewhere on the floor, not necessarily near the water pump.
to the second post (guest), it sounds like you have a bad water valve. the valve is not closing properly and causing water to leak thru.
The whole cabinet comes off on this washer. Too remove you need to remove 2 screws in console. These may be in back on the right and left ends of console or may be in front on each end. If you can-not find them they might be hidden under plastic end trim. They are located in front of console on both ends. To remove pry them up from the inner lower edge and peel towards outside of washer. Then remove screws and shake console back and forth while pulling up. Console will hinge back. Remove to gold colored clips with screwdriver prying at front. Make note of the position of these clips. Unplug lid switch harness and pivot cabinet back and off. The usual spot for a leak is the pump. Check for stain coming from area on pump where motor shaft enters. The pump can be removed by taking off the 2 clips. Also check small diameter hose that enters side of wash tub in back side. Make sure this is attached to tub.
