I have purchased a Maytag

Is there water inside the tub after it starts leaking? If so the valve that lets the water into the machine could have a bad seal and overfilling the machine with water when it is not being used. Or one of your water hose seals could be leaking. Make sure the hoses are tight. Beyond that there is nothing to cause a profuse amount of water when the machine is not being used.

When your Maytag top load washing machine leaks water, check the following parts.


The first place you need to check is behind the washer, check the two fill hoses and the water mixing valve.


The next thing to do is to remove the front panel, set the washer on the regular cycle and turn it on to 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.


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 washing machine water leaks.


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 leaks down the center of the transmission.
