 >> I have noticed that the water valves are slow at closing,... Maybe time for a new set? If your machine (or the valves) are new enough, that's how they are supposed to work. Sometime in the mid 1970s, Maytag switched to slow-closing valves to lessen the water hammering that fast-closing valves had. | ||

The sleeve injector valve is worth replacing, it's cheap to do, and reduces the chances of future leaks in that area. When doing it, it would be a good idea to upgrade to the newer style sleeve injector at the same time - it has a barrier wall around the vents to catch small amounts of spray from escaping.
