The hose with the long neck or "U" upside-down is the suds hose, which sucks the water back into the tub; the shorter necked one is for the rinse water. If the machine has a DRAIN SUDS button, when pressed, all water, both wash&rinse will drain from the short hose. So you can curl up the suds hose and leave it behind the machine. If it does not have the button as is the case with some BOL's, just put both hoses in one tub, and you'll be fine; or you can secure a standpipe inside the sink drain, place the rinse hose in it, and the suds hose in the sink, and use the Suds-saver. Hope this helps. |

That does help... But both hoses end the same way; they were clamped onto the DuraTub. The "sucking up hose" was built into the DuraTub; so there isn't one that hooks over the tub--so to speak. |

You can simply remove the two screws at the bottom of the Maytag's front panel, pull the panel forward and down to remove it. Disconnect the hose coming from the back of the pump (in the front right corner) and connect one of the hoses going to the drain sink or standpipe to this and run it out of the machine. Now you've bypassed the suds-saver valve completely and ther will be no "extra" hoses to worry about. You can hook it back up anytime you want the suds saving feature again.
