Water left pooled inside maytag neptune front loading washer

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!

Hi! How do you replace a water valve(part#22002437) on a Maytag Neptune Stack? I know how to do it on a washer only, but how do I get to it on a stack Model# MLG2000aww?

wow it's quite a job you need to disassamble the control panel area between the washer and dryer,take off the washer front panel,then reach in the back of the inside of washer to remove and install new valve and also get to the back so ya can remove and reinstall the hoses from the valve.

Wish you well i've have a few busted knuckles when doing that repair

Leaking water on spincycle

I have the same problem with my washer. The problem just began a few weeks ago. It is splashing out the front left corner of the tub and running down the inside of washer and then leaking out the bottom of the frame. It is just enough water to be annoying. The washer is about 6 years old.
Model: FAV6800AWW
Serial: 11277017EG

Any ideas??? Help!

MLE2000 front load washer

Hi..I had the same problem yesterday...the maching would start when I pushed the button and then stop..I had to push the button again to get it going..My stacked set is around 8 years old.

Here's what we did..moved the washer away from the water source and unscrewed the water intake lines..there is a little screen there...took the screen out of both hot and cold lines..one screen has some debris in it..the other was almost completely blocked..we are on a well and sometimes dirt..etc..gets in the lines..

Today no problems doing the laundry..its working like new..

Water leak from detergent drawer

Remove the control panel. Inside you will find a service tech sheet that will identify the error code.

There may be an obstruction in the water valve inlet flume forcing the water to travel in the wrong direction.
