The machine you have described is a round porcelain Tub? Correct. Your pics didn't load.
Do you have a pump? Or is it gravity drain? I presume you have checked the hose to see if it has a hole. ( I know it sounds simplistic. but I hope it is what is wrong.) And with a bright light check all around the tub. To see if there may be a rusted thru spot. The funny bolts are gulmite bolts, and they do require a special tool. Available on ebay. To remove them by other methods have been successful. But can also can damage the center plates threaded holes that attach to the tub. And the Gear box ( transmission) or sometimes called power unit. Gasket/ Yes there is a rubber gasket under the plate. And yes I suppose it can fail. To fix that you need the special wrench. You will probably not find anyone in the now existing appliance service depts. that will be able to help. There is a gentleman up state that has been very helpful with information and parts On the Bay his seller name is cayuga2. His business name Phil's Maytag in Ovid New York. Others will stop by. And may have more info. that I do. |
