When your Maytag top load washing machine leaks water, you will need to check the following parts until you find where the leak is coming from.
The water valve: The first place you need to check is behind the washer. Check the two fill hoses and the water mixing valve. Check for pinholes or cracks on the plastic body of water mixing valve.
Remove the front panel : The next thing you need to do, is to remove the front panel so you could see the tub and the hoses. Set the washer on the regular cycle and turn it on so it could start filling. Use a drop light and check all the hoses under the washer as the washer is filling. Make sure to keep your hands away from any moving parts.
The pump : If the hoses are ok, check the pump for leaks. When the bearings in the pump wear out, that is when the pump will get noisy and that could cause your Maytag washing machine to leak water.
The stem & seal : Another place that the washer could leak water from, is the stem & seal on the holding tank. When washer leaks water from the stem & seal, the water will leak down the center of the transmission. When the stem & seal need to be replace, the tub bearing has to be replace at the same time. This is an expensive repair if you have to pay someone to do it. If you do it yourself it will cost you about $110. Any of these parts could cause your Maytag top load washer water leaks.
