I have a slow drip at the bottom of my front load washer door (Maytag Epic Z). It leaks through the bottom of the door and drips down the front of the washer onto the floor. Has done it since I bought it over a year ago - do I need to replace the seal? If yes, how do I do that?

Yes the seal might need replacing. but in my experience a simple strand of hair caught on the seal will make it leak. So i suggest that you try thoroughly cleaning the seal fist. If its needs to replaced, its not that difficult, but its kind of tricky. Check if your machine is still under warranty by contacting the manufacturer. hopefully it is and they will change for you for free. If its not under warranty let me know and i'll try my best to give you detailed instructions on how to change it.

My Maytag Epic front load washer is dripping a small amount of water from the water entry point in the tub. Is this normal after washing a load of clothes? I have not noticed it before.

I do not think this is normal. This may be a sign that your water fill valve is going bad. I would recommend shutting off your water supply valves when not in use and do not leave unattended when in use in case it gets worse. I would get repaired as soon as possible.

I have front loader MFW9700 Maytag washer. Water

Check the door seal for tears and the drain boot from tub to drain boot for anything that might have put a hole in like a piece of metal from an under wire bra which front loads will spin so fast that the wires come out of the bras.

Washer tub slowly fills with water

Is your problem a SLOW FILL problem, or a problem with WATER DRIPPING FROM THE RUBBER DOOR SEAL - or BOTH? If you have a slow fill problem, this is generally caused by a bad fill valve, which can be attributed to hard water deposits or well water mineral deposits. Sometimes the fill valve can be removed, cleaned and reinstalled, but most of the time a new fill valve is required. If you are experiencing water leaking from the rubber door seal (bellow), it may be time to replace it. Sometimes the seal can develop a wrinkle or crease where it meets the glass, which can cause leaks. Water dripping from the door when you open after washing a load is normal. Water dripping during a load is NOT. The bellow may also have started to rip or tear inside the door which may not be noticeable until you pull the folds of the bellow back and look underneath it. I hope this helps.
