Craig November 09, 2016 for Model Number A105 Got a Maytag washer, A105, leaking water onto floor. Took top off and found the 'sleeve' (a clear plastic part, open at the top, connecting two black hoses that fill the tub) leaking. Water is bubbling out of the open box at the top (the open part looks like an air gap to me). Why would it do this? Nothing looks broken. The connections are good, the hoses are intact as far as I can tell and water still fills the tub, but bubbles out of the top of the sleeve. Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks.
2 Answers Craig, You're pretty much on target, it is an air gap, aerator, and anti siphon valve. it is a three piece assembly, WP215447 sleeve, WP216201 valve,WP213015 nozzle. The leakage is usually due to deposits from the water, debris from the detergents, etc or low water pressure which won't allow the valve to expand against the inside of the sleeve and seal. Just remember, the nozzle fits inside the valve, and you have to roll the edge of the valve over the end of the nozzle to seal properly. The parts are in stock and available at this time.

Bill K August 26, 2014 for Model Number LAT8608AAE When the washer first starts to fill, it does so at pretty good flow. After about 5-10 seconds, the flow slows to a crawl and the machine starts to make a squealing noise. What could the problem be? I hope you can help me out. Thank you ahead of time
1 Answer Hello Bill. Check for clogged screens in the water valve. If none is found, then replace the valve 205613. Read More...
Max January 04, 2013 for Model Number maytag A3910 What will happen if I just get rid of the sleeve and make a direct connection?
1 Answer Hello Max, It is not recommended to get rid of sleeve. You would want to replace nozzle, injector and clean up or replace sleeve. Read More...
Alex October 29, 2012 for Model Number lat8840baw It looks like the Maytag washer has a leak in the sleeve. Do I need to buy hoses, injector valve, nozzle, clamps in addition to sleeve?

Jerry April 01, 2011 for Model Number Maytag LAT9200BAE Water flows through the sleeve when the hose on the washer side is pinched. Sporatically the water has been overflowing from the sleeve. The valve injector blows up like a balloon. Does the valve injector need replacement?
