My top load Maytag is dripping water after the whole cycle completes. I removed the inlet valve, directly hooked up the hose to each bib on the valve, turned the water shutoff on and nothing leaked(turned valve upside down). Reinstalled it and it still leaks. Even after I turn the water shutoff valves off. Had the hoses removed overnight and there wasn't any leakage with the valves off. Should I just assume the inlet valve is flaky and needs replacement??

Hi and welcome to FixYa I am Kelly
Here is what you can do to try and remove the debris from inside the water valve assembly.

-Turn off BOTH wall hose connections
-Remove ONE hose assembly completely and also remove the screen from the hose connection area of the water valve by using a thin knife blade on the outside of the screen
-Leaving the screen removed connect ONE hose to the water valve hand tight and place the free end in a bucket.
-Turn on the remaining wall connection water hose
-Select WARM wash and start washer fill cycle
-Tap on the water valve FILL HOSE fitting for about 20 seconds (Your trying to loosen / remove debris) Do NOT use a hammer.... (Handle ok) but be serious with your tapping.

STOP FILL CYCLE
-Reinstall the removed inlet screen and connect hose to water valve and wall connection.
Repeat procedure for the 2nd hose.

This will clear about 50% of the water fill problems. If it does not cease the dripping while off routine you will have to replace the water valve assembly (Item 17) This link: http://www.appliancepartspros.com/partsearch/model.aspx?model_id=5177917&diagram_id=1341192#d1341192

Thanks for choosing FixYa,

There is a diaphram switch located in the machine at the bottom right in the rear. When you remove the front panel it will be all the way back on the right. It senses the water level. It has three levels it detects. I had a problem with mine filling too much. That should take care of your problem.

Your cold water inlet valve has more than likely fialed.or.... the inlet screen is completely clogged. First turn off the water to your unit both hot and cold water lines. Then select the wash cycle w
ith hot water only and listen for a hum from the inlet water valve. Then select cold and see if you hear a similar hum. If you do not hear a likewise hum then the cold water solenoid on the water valve has failed and will need to be replaced. (Sometimes this requires the entire water valve be replaced due to the design of the assy) If you hear a similar hum then remove the hoses from the water valve and check for a clogged inlet screen just inside the water hose attachment fitting. If you can not tell if it is clogged remove the screen and hold it up to the light. You should be able to see light through the screen. If it is clogged scrub and wash the screen under running water. It is prety easy to tell if you have it clean. Once you finish reinstall the screen in the water inlet valve, reconnect the hoses and turn on the water. Good luck.

Your water inlet valve where the water supply hoses connect is probably leaking because it's not shutting off completely because of sediment in the water line. Replace it or you can try cleaning it.

Water valve is located at the rear of the machine with the water hoses attached to it. Disconnect power. Remove hoses and unscrew the small angled bracket attached to the valve. Replace the valve and your problem will be solved. Part Number is 2200270. This the only possible cause for the symptom you describe.

Check the water inlet valve. Remove the water supply hoses and check the small screens inside the inlet valve. Make sure they are clear of rust or debris. Next, check the solenoids. They can be tested using a multimeter or ohmmeter. Check for continuity. A lack of continuity means a bad solenoid. I will attach a photo for reference. Sure hope this helps and best wishes.

Your water inlet valve where the water supply hooks up to the washer is not sealing good.It can get sediment in it and cause this. Having a well for water supply can cause this more than water that has time to settle.

turn hot water tap off if it still drips replace cold water inlet valve if it stops replace hot water valve

Your water inlet valve is probably leaking by. If the water pressure is too, or if there is sediment build inside the valve, sometimes the solenoids will not close properly. Try cleaning the valve to see if this helps. If not, I would recommend replacing it. Depending on which valve you have, repairclinic.com has two listed for this model washer for $20 to $30. Let me know if this helps, or if you need further assistance.

you have a bad water valve.. replace the valve where the hoses are hooked to your washer
