Me H. September 23, 2012 for Model Number wfw9400sw01 When I wash a load on hand wash or delicate it leaks from the front of the machine. The other cycles it doesn't leak. We do know that when the washer fills up for the handwash & delicate cycles it uses more water and it starts leaking within the first 8 minutes. Do we need to replace the front bellow tub seal?
1 Answer Hi. Remove the top. Remove the pressure switch part # WPW10514214 (soil level) hose. Blow back in towards the tub and remove the restriction there. If you did remove the restriction, then use "Afresh" washer cleaning tablets part # W10501250 to clean the unit monthly. If the pressure switch senses to not close when needed it will allow too much of a fill. Make sure the vent system is clear and the outside vent hood opens and closes properly so the outside air does not create a restriction (moisture build up). Check the inside door glass and make sure there are no debris build up there. Look at the door boot itself part # WP8182119 to see if there are rips. You will need the rear boot clamp part # WP8182210 as well. It will be advantageous to find the supplied tech sheet inside the cabinet to aid you in the diagnosis. It allows you to put the unit in a diagnostic mode which brings up fault codes and tells you which circuit needs assistance. Thank You. Read More...

Steve May 28, 2012 for Model Number MHWE500VW00 Can anyone tell me how to replace the boot seal on my Maytag front loader washer?
1 Answer Hello Steve. 1. Unplug washer or disconnect power. 2. Turn off the water supply to the washer. 3. Remove the top cover and the console. 4. Remove the lower front access panel. 5. Open the washer door. 6. Using a small screwdriver or a pair of long-nosed pliers, pull the tension spring on the retaining wire out from around the front of the bellows, and remove the wire. 8. To remove the bellows: a) Remove the two T-20 Torx screws from the door switch assembly. b) Remove the front panel from the washer. c) Turn the bellows retaining clamp screw counterclockwise until the clamp is loose enough to remove it from around the bellows. NOTE: It may be necessary to completely remove the screw from one end of the clamp. d) Remove the bellows retaining clamp from around the bellows WP8182119. e) Pull the bellows off the front of the tub. REASSEMBLY NOTE: When you reinstall the bellows, be sure to position the “weep holes” at the bottom, Read More...
