Welcome. I have a YouTube channel where I've shot video of various machines doing what we love them to do. Here's a link to a video I shot of my 72 A806 washer doing a agitate and spin. I had just went thru it. See if this helps...
Yes, guys, I know. She's not loaded down with a huge load in this video. I used all the shop towels I had at the time... RCD CLICK HERE TO GO TO redcarpetdrew's LINK | ||

Warm Trickle Check the injector inlet to make sure there isn't an accumulation of mineral deposits and that the flapper inside is floating free. | ||

Injector issues...
Kelly's right. Your machine's old enough to experience problems with the injector assy. It mounts on the left rear of the top of the cabinet and is comprised of three pieces. An outer cage, the rubber nozzle and a plastic piece that is inside the rubber nozzle. That rubber nozzle can become stuff and less flexible with time and hard/minerally water and split or otherwise leak. I just replace all three parts on a service call and the issue is solved. Common repair.

Maytag Injector Leaks You can also just replace the little rubber part if you find it less expensive. Our company has probably done this repair several hundred times over the last 35 years and I have never replaced anything but the little rubber part. I not only find it wasteful and expensive to replace unnecessary parts but it is really more fun to just fix the real problem, especially when you see how a simple little part can cause the problem. | ||

Really, John?
Well, let me rephrase things...
For those of us who deal with hard, mineral laden water that screws up everything that it touches like all over here in Nevada... In my experience, when that rubber nozzle fails it leaves a coating of degraded rubber and/or mineral deposits on the inside of the outer 'cage' which can cause a leak. Plus, the new outer cage has been changed by adding a 'cup' like affair that helps prevent nuisance drips. I'm not a glorified parts changer who will throw extra parts at a repair for the fun of it nor am I on commission and benefit from throwing parts at something. I use enough of the right parts to properly ensure a good repair, take good care of my customer who trusts me to know what I'm doing and prevent a callback which is where the customer' annoyance and my expense at doing a callback come into play. The fun for me comes when I know I'm not coming back to fix it again and my customer will ask for me in the future. RCD | ||
