Because they're not too expensive yet,I always buy the pastic cone along with the sleave and it goes on(the sleave)like a condom.You just peal it right onto the cone then you use the clamp to give it a good tight fit. I change mine along with the belts and inlet hoses every 5 years or as needed within that period. I hope this info helps.Wish I was there,I can do it in my sleep! lol

My beloved 30-year-old Maytag......
It isn't that old yet :) 1985 was when the 12 series debuted, so it isn't much older than 24......25 at the most. "with the lip of the sleeve pulled up and over the flange of the injector" That is the correct method. What often happens is that the sleeve isn't properly lubricated before inserting it into the hose. Most repair guys simply use saliva around the sleeve before inserting injector into the hose, but I had problems with the lip of the sleeve being pulled back while inserting it, causing a leak. One trick that I found worked was applying Petroleum Jelly around the rubber sleeve which allowed it to glide into place without peeling back. Petroleum Jelly will also act as a sealant, preventing any water from escaping between the hose and sleeve. Hopefully this all makes sense. Lots of sexual innuendo in my post above. I didn't purposely write it like that; it's how these parts function. If I wasn't at work, I'd shoot a clip how this is done (I need to replace one in my 1975 HA806) and post it on youtube. | ||

According to Card 58, slide C-2......
Valve for injector: 213016 I did a little checking and 216201 is the alternative (updated) part for 213016, so you do have the correct part. Where is your leak coming from? In some older houses, if there isn't enough water pressure, the injector sleeve can leak. There's an updated sleeve that is used in low water pressure applications which is part # 22213057. I'm wondering if this updated 216201 (shorter) valve requires the updated 22213057 sleeve? I bet it does. | ||

Simplelest solution....
take a 3 inch piece of 3/4 inch plastic pipe. connect both hoses to this with new clamps, secure in place with a cable tie....throw away the air injector assembly......problem permanently fixed......... I do this to all my maytags and GE's....I have such high water pressure that they whistle while filling, and can't stand the noise....this solves it the air gap only serves to prevent water from being sucked back into the water lines should the water being turned off at the main, and causing a suction....like that has ever happened!...I don't know of any machine filling up past the water inlet flume, maybe I'm wrong but never seen it happen... | ||
