There are 2 screws near the bottom of the front panel on the washer.Take them out,pull the bottom towards you,and the front comes off.You can CAREFULLY run the washer with the panel off to see where it leaks. If the dryer doesn't have a removable back panel,the front will come off the same way as the washer.The only thing to watch for is the wires on the door switch. Post what you find out,always someone here that can diagnose them for you. kennyGF kennyGF | ||

Beautiful Set Erix! If you need any instructions on repair, I can email you repair steps for your water injector. Very simple repair. Here is a pic of my twins. Erik

The back panel lights up when the machine is operating.Glad I could help,Erix!Like Eric said,the injector repair is pretty simple. That dryer looks like an older Halo of Heat,it should have a full back panel that comes off. There is a seperate belt that runs the blower,make sure it's not broken. kennyGF | ||

the good ole' days
My grandparents had that exact same matching set, however, with no light-up console. Unfortunately, the washer broke down, trans slowly locked up, straining, and eventually blowing the motor. So it was a total loss. But my mom and her sister bought that set for my grandparents in the early 70s. The washer never broke down except for its final death. The dryer is still around and working! Over the years it just had a few thermostats replaced. It's the dryer with the moisture sensors on the baffles. If you ask me, that's the most genius place to put the sensors, however, everyone just puts a central sensor near the door now, which i think is less efficient. They replaced the washer in 2003 with newer basic, close to BOL Maytag. Grandma says it works fine, no trouble, she just misses the old one alot. I'm just really dissapointed in Maytag's washers and dryers of late....if they just kept making bulletproof basic, no nonsense, no gimick [atlantis] washers....they'd still be on top, and not be eaten by Whirlpool. Oh well, at least they're staying continental, and not being raped by Haier. | ||

It's not easy to get to the element area of a Halo of heat dryer. The top comes off by removing 2 screws holding it in the back.Then the top must be pushed forward,to release it from the brackets holding it on the front.IIRC,you remove the back panel,and all the screws around the bottom of the cabinet,and slide the cabinet forward,to access the element area.Very much a PITA. kennyGF | ||
