"Oddly enough, there is a little thingamajig on the right hand side on the floor of the machine...I suppose it contains some electrical elements or something, perhaps. It has a white-ish plastic cover on it. In the diagram I have, it is called a "reversible self-cleaning poly pump". Fancy name. ;) " Not too odd,that's the pump,runs off a belt from the motor,nothing electrical involved.Shouldn't be any moisture there.Fix the first problem,then wipe off the pump thoroughly,and run a few cycles to see if the pump is indeed leaking. If you're not familiar with taking one of those fill assemblys apart,I would change the whole thing. kennyGF |

Just feel free to keep asking questions. And don't worry if we tend to drift in and off topic. I am not a Maytag expert (and our winter storms make me kinda of an on again and off again logger right at the moment) but I, too, have had that funny water-where-none-should-be problem. Turned out that the hose going to the pump had pulled just a bit loose over the decades...I tightened it up (otherwise in good condition) at both ends and the water went away. Still don't quite know how it ended up THERE, but that's where it was. One thing you might want to check, it afflicted a friend's Maytag for some time: They really need to be very much level and on a solid floor. If they aren't, water filling the tub can be diverted over the edge (yes, I know that sounds like way out of level, but it truly doesn't take as much as one would think for just a bit to spray over the edge). Good luck and let us know how things go. |
