Water in Outer Tub

The washer seems to be completing its' Normal cycle properly. The clothes are damp and clean. But, when you turn the Inner Drum, to get at some of the clothes while unloading the washer, you can hear water sloshing. Since the clothes are properly spun damp, the water seems to be in the outer tub. I ran the spin cycle without any clothes. The water sloshing sound still occurred when I turned the Inner Drum. What should I check to correct this problem? Please note that I had a problem with the door boot seal previously. Water was not draining out the hole at the bottom of the seal. I assumed the hole was clogged. I pushed a retracted ball point pen into the hole to clear the clog. The seal drains properly now.

My washer does this too and I called Maytag and was told it was normal. I don't like that answer, though.

The liquid sound is the sealed balance ring on the front of the stainless spin drum. This is sealed, will always have liquid in unless it breaks and becomes unsealed, leaked the caustic solution out. Normal sloshing sound.

I was told the same thing by my dealer and I am quite satisfied that that is true. I don't think a dealership would jeapordize their good name. I live in a fairly small town and word would get around quickly. I have only had my washer about 3 weeks.

    I should have mentioned that the dealer explained to me that the water you hear is sealed inside the drum cavity to balance the spin cycle. It will not contaminate the new wash water.
