Maytag LA882 - Leak from top

Sporatically our Maytag washer will leak water from the top back left.  Water will pour from the bottom of the washer and from seam of the side and top panel.  It happens maybe once a month.

I suspect the water is coming from a plastic (clear square) piece on the inlet hose(see picture).  Is this a broken piece or some kind of a check valve? What can I do to fix the problem?

Thanks

    Update, I fixed the problem by replacing valve. Not sure why there is a need for the valve or why the old one was causing a problem, but have not had a problem since replacing.

First plug off the wall. Open up the top by unscrewing screws at the back of machine or wherever. Check out the tubes........

Hiya....... It is more likely to be the drain pump... check the hosing and fittings, obvious but make sure no electric on first

To get access to internals you have to remove back panel of machine and then other 3 sides that then exposes the parts you need to get to eg. drainage hose,s

Maytag bravos mct ecoconserve leaking water

Hi Kim, what you need to do is lean the washer back to see where the leak is coming from. It could be a split hose or a damaged tub. You could also have a bad tub seal. If it's not easily visible,you may need to call a local repair company. Hope that helps.

Maytag A482 washer from 1985. Leaking water from

probably has a pin hole leak where it has been rubbing the tub. Does the tub have a seal at the top of it where it meets the top. Could be the seal is going bad.

Water pours from bottom of tub as soon as water goes in.

Common cause is leak in drain hose as hose outlet must be above water level and if damaged water will run out straight away ( syphon ) but tip it up ( carefully ) and check
Please - Please be carefull as water and electric are not friends

Maytag top load washing machine leaking water from bottom

The machine is leaking water from the bottom, I think the leak is in the area near where the motor is mounted. Before we noticed the water comes from underneath the washer, we smelled like burning rubber.

My daughters maytag has water leaking from the bottom.

Check the easy stuff first, fill hoses tight?- drain hose cracked?
Failing those checks, cut a piece of cardboard slightly smaller than the size of your washer. Slip the cardboard under the washer and run a short load. Look carefully at the water mark on the cardboard. The mark on the cardboard the water leak will leave, will help you tell from which side or front to back the leak is common from. This will help point you in the correct direction to look for the trouble maker.

Washer leaking water on floor

Need to check drain pump and its hose connections. If its not from the drum seal then that's usually where the leaks occur.
