Michael C Petaluma , CA February 08, 2019 Appliance: Maytag Top Loading Washer A8840 Water leak from 1986 Maytag washing machine I removed the front cover and saw water a rusted out drum cover clamp. Water gushed out at this point when i operated the machine. I ordered a new clamp and seal from Appliance Parts Pros, which arrived quickly. I wire-brushed the drum and it's cover clean, in the sealing area and installed the new seal and clamp. NOTE do not set the cover down all the way down, or the tub will not "spin". Leave 3/8- 1/2" clearance between the top of the tub and the upper cover. I chose to fix my old washer, because the reviews I read about new washers say newer machines take 30-60 minutes to do a load and often do not clean properly. Before I found Appliance Parts Pros, the local appliance parts store owner would grin as he said "Sorry NO discount" , because he had no competition. Thanks APP!
