I'm a 62 yr old female. I had water coming from under my washer (Maytag 30 yrs old!). I read some problems others have had and looked at some videos. I found out how to take the front off my washer and when I did (removed 2 screws at bottom of panel) I saw the drain hose had a large split in it! I ordered a new one, took me about 10 minutes to replace the hose ( removed 2 hose clamps took old hose off put clamps on new hose attached new hose) and put the washers front panel back on. Easy!!! So happy to have found tis site!
