Name of the Hose I found pdf of a parts list with pictures. Awesome. I still don't know what to call the pipe on the back of the tub, but the hose that goes to it is 2-12942, called "air dome and tube". Can I fix this pipe? CLICK HERE TO GO TO LintTrap's LINK | ||

Hmmm... my link didn't go to the parts list, but to find it, go to the Maytag website and search a806 in the "manuals and literature". | ||

You will likely be able to fix it, depending on how bad the rust is and how determined you are. That "pipe" stub that the air dome attaches to was welded on to the outer tub during manufacture. There are products out there that can seal up that sort of thing but I don't personally have experience with them. Robert (our webmaster) and number of others have experience with this sort of repair.
A parts list will not do you any good other than if you need to replace the air dome itself (part #2-12942). You will need to "improvise" a fix for this problem with various silicone, epoxy or other "miracle" products. | ||

That's encouraging! Thank you so much for your reply. I'm going to try to upgrade my membership so I can upload a photo of the damaged pipe. I'd like to hear what epoxies you all prefer, or if the hole is a lost cause. Should I start a new tread for that? Thx! | ||

Stick with same thread Welcome to AW.org
Stick with the same thread, since you mentioned the exact problem and rust spot right in the first thread and the model number is listed in the title.
Some of the experienced pros here will advise the epoxy/sealant/goop to use. I'll keep watching this thread so I can learn.
Also, the H in HA806 refers to the color of the washer, you'll have best luck researching using only the A806.
Again, welcome to the website, and pictures can help for sure. Mark | ||

If you press around the edges of the oulet-stub nearest the tub, is it solid or beginning to crumble? It appears that you have enough of the stub left to clean up, stop the present rust and clamp on a new air dome hose to. This hose does not move much at all, with the tub while spinning and the stresses are really on the upper parts of the hose. Since it's located in a corner of the machine cabinet, it is very unlikely that it will ever get knocked around in an off-balance load scenario. I would clean the outlet with a small brush to remove any loose rust, coat it with a good rust-inhibitor paint such as POR-15 and then when that's cured, replace the air dome hose with a new one and some RTV Ultra-Blue silicone to seal it and give a little extra holding power. Spread the silicone around the stud before slipping the hose on and then clamp - not over-tight, just enough to hold it firmly in place.

It is solid. There is about 1/4" of uncorroded stub left. If we use the original hose clamp (and not wide kind with a screw), it might hang on.
That is exactly what I would do, except I would put a bead of Permatex Ultra-Blue silicone (found at Ace Hardware) around the uncorroded section of the stub and tighten the clamp only with a small amount of pressure. Let the silicone dry for 24 hours before testing. | ||
