I have a stacked maytag neptune washer MLE2000. It is about 4 years old. I did a wash last night and it drained properly and there was no water left inside the washer. The next morning I went to do another load but found a pool of standing water inside the machine. What does this mean and how can I fix it? Should I still use the machine?
Possible explanation: Some water is left in the hose going up to the drainpipe b/c the pump can only pump water with water, not air... so when the last bit of water is sucked up, it 'stays' just the other side of the pump exit nozzle and keeps the drain tubefilled. This water gradually leaks thru the drain exit valve and back into the machine, sometimes siphoning standing water in the drain trap with it.
The valve is either electric solenoid or plastic/rubber clapper in a cylinder. Your call whether to fix or not depending on ease and cost. Probably a $20.00 part.
Cheers!
