Al for Model Number Maytag Model 2000 Front Load Washer We have a five-year-old Maytag Series 2000 front load washing machine that leaks from time to time. We have removed the lower cover to see where it may be leaking but can not pin point the leak. It seems to only leak on the normal cycle. Does that make any sense? We don’t see any leaking around the pump etc.
Answer Hello Al, We will actually need you to please post a new question including the model number from the units' I.D. tag. This will allow us to see the exact configuration machine you have in your home. While it is still difficult to determine where the unit is leaking without being there, we can point out possible places where a leak can occur. The best way to locate a leak is by opening the unit and using a strong flashlight to locate a "water trail". You see, when a washer leaks, it does not leak pure water, but soapy water. There are normally mineral deposits also in the water. When the water evaporates, these impurities do not. They remain, leaving a trail up to where the leak originated. A strong flashlight will make them show up as a dull, sometimes white, line leading all the way to where the water exited the machine. As a technician, this is how I have located leaks over the past 30 years and can honestly say it is the best way to locate leaks since the water trails do not lie. Read More...
