between the hose and clamps.....this should not cost anymore than 20.00 or so dollars......
and YOU can do it youself in a matter of minutes......... really nothing to it............not necessary, but you may want to unplug the unit for safety...... take the two screws at the bottom of the cabinet front out...... tilt the front towards you, at about 1/3rd the way, it should unclip and allowed to be moved out of the way........ remove the 2 old clamps, one from the tub, and the other from the pump......for these type of clamps, probably best to loosen, and remove with the hose, you may have to twist a little......... slide new clamps over new hose, slide hose onto pump, and other end to tub......secure and tighten the clamps............. turn machine on and check for leaks....yes while the front is off......just keep your hands clear of the spinning transmission....but observe for any leaks from your new hose, or any other areas while you are at it...... all looks good......and it should replace the front the same way it came off....and replace screws......... and you are GO! goodluck and have fun......let us know how you make out take pics if something concerns you and you need advice |

Hi Natalie,
I assuming it's leaking from the larger of these two hoses? Yes I agree you can replace that hose yourself. Just have 2 or 3 large towels (other than white) handy because water WILL come out when you remove the hose. (Ignore the smaller hose in the photo, that is for the bleach dispenser that your washer does not have.)
By the way, the white thing at the bottom of the larger hose is the drain pump.
Also, the oldest your washer & dryer could be is from 1966, that is when Maytag changed to that design. If you open the dryer door and look at the model tag, what are the last two digits from the serial number (it will be 2 letters). We can tell you when it was built.

Nice set: I had the 206 washer growing up, but it had the black agitator. |
