I have a Maytag helical drive, non-anti siphon valve, with a factory 7ft drain hose.....
problem is when I place the hose in the drain pipe, which it 5ft off the ground, the machine will drain during initial start, but when it reaches high speed, and the remaining water from the clothes get spun out, the water barely pumps out, if its the first spin, it will suds lock during the spray rinse, if its the last spin the water logs in the outer tub and causes the inner tub to slow down.... now if I take the hose out of the pipe and place it in the laundry tub, all the water gushes out, and everything is normal...never a suds lock, or water log My question is how high can one of these machines pump out, and does anyone else experience this?......seems with a 7 ft hose it can pump distance, just not height! NOTE: suds lock from using Sears detergent!...thats what seems odd | ||

Couple of things I have run into that cause this problem:
Restriction in the lower tub fitting where the tub to pump hose is connected to. I've seen LOTS of build-up accumulate there, usually from owners who do cold water washes only. Could be a restriction in the either tub to pump hose or drain hose. Another possibility is the pump bearing needs a shot of turbine oil. After a full rebuild on my '75 806, I was having the same issue you describe. After oiling the pump (I do this with all of my machines as a routine maintenance), the problem surprisingly disappeared. Also, make sure the pump belt isn't, worn, oil soaked, or have any grungyness on it. It wouldn't hurt to make sure the belt tension is correct. This post was last edited 05/31/2010 at 19:34 | ||

Thanks for the info guys...
this is my 1974 A107 I got from the estate sale that was still in the box, brand new yes, but still sitting for all those years, runs super quiet, so as not to say there shouldn't any issues with this machine, but it has a powerful force when in the sink that the hose almost jet propels up and out, thats when I placed it in the standpipe, but then the load would sudslock and leave the clothes soaked at the end of the cycle...I'm gonna try some or your ideas, I even have a spare pump and belt to put on, just to see if there is a difference.... I know GE FF are great for high pump out levels, actually had one that did this same thing as the Maytag, changed the pump and all was well, but from observation, there didn't seem to be anything wrong with it... Thanks again guys...will let you know what happens!
