The input valve leaked into the tub after the machine was shut down. Ordered replacement valve (who would have guessed you could find an input valve for a 14 year-old washing machine?!) and installed it. On this Maytag, the valve is accessible easily on the back side of the washer by removing a small panel where the 2 hoses connect. The hoses actually connect to the input valve. Once the panel and valve are loose, one more interior hose needs to be removed along with 2 electrical connectors (which provide the current to activate the solenoids that turn the water on/off). Then the replacement is installed.
