Barbara S. December 11, 2015 for Model Number LAT9593AAL We think the injector needs replacing as it was done several years ago by a repairman when it was leaking water on the floor the same as it is now. How can we just open the top of the machine to get to it without taking the whole thing apart?
1 Answer Hello Barbara, Unplug the unit and remove the two screws in the front panel. This will allow you to remove the front panel. Now there will be one screw in each corner at the top, inside the corners, threaded toward the ceiling. When removed, the main top will pivot open, allowing access to the injector assembly.

J September 26, 2013 for Model Number A282 My machine is leaking at the sleeve where the water enters the tub. The rubber injector valve & nozzle still look intact. What is the purpose of the injector valve & nozzle? Can it be bypassed if only large loads are used? Could there be some type of clog (calcium build-up) in the lines that is causing this overflow?
1 Answer Hello J. It can not be bypassed. Used to inject the water into the flume. You will need to order and replace the rubber valve on the unit. Read More...
Corey February 04, 2013 for Model Number A608S I have an OLD Maytag washer in the house I am renting with a leak. Landlord is a little slow at getting to things, so I figured I'd try to take care of this problem myself. I have water gushing out of the sleeve where the injector valve is located while filling with hot or cold water. Will I need to order the injector kit (which says it isn't compatible with the A608S) or should I only order the injector valve?
1 Answer Hello Corey. It is best to order and replace the kit 12001677 and not just the sleeve of the unit. Read More...
Richard J December 21, 2012 for Model Number A412 I replaced the injector valve, but it's still leaking (doesn't seem to seal off on outlet side) can this valve be by-passed on the A412 Maytag Thanks Richard Jay
1 Answer Hello Richard, The injector valve would not cause the unit to leak . This would be a water valve 205613 issue. Read More...
Jim February 06, 2012 for Model Number AP4025626 Hello how does bypassing the injector valve assembly affect the water fill? Can it be eliminated if I only use full load water level?
1 Answer Hello Jim. You do not need to bypass the injector valve WP216201. It will affect the fill of the unit. Hope this helps. Read More...
M Sterling December 26, 2011 for Model Number LSG7800AAW I found my injector leaking. I figured out how to fix. Drections said it was a siphon break. My question is why do we need a siphon break at the top of the water line? Its not like we have a 500 foot drop in the line. Its only filling the tub. Can I bypass injector and just get rid of it? Thanks M Sterling
1 Answer Hello M Sterling. Yes, the injector WP216201 can be bypassed, but the water fill will not work properly on the unit. It is best to replace the injector on the washer. Hope this helps. Read More...
Cameraman July 22, 2011 for Model Number A8120 After replacing the water control valve on our Maytag A8120, water was discovered leaking from the "injector valve assembly" (AP4025626) & it's plastic sleeve (AP4025355). What is the function of this valve?? Thanks!
1 Answer Hello Cameraman. The injector assembly 12001677 is used as a siphon break in the water supply system. If it is leaking you will need to replace the injector valve assembly. Hope this helps. Read More...
Jim B. July 18, 2011 for Model Number A612 When I took the Injector valve apart the nozzle was missing. Do you have a diagram availale how to install the new injector valve and nozzle?
