Laura M Walls , MS December 20, 2020 Appliance: Maytag Top Loading Washer MAVT546EWW Flume hose leaking. found after some curious wet spots in the hall After finding a video online from you all I found the problem. I ordered the necessary parts, watched the video (which didn’t match my washer exactly but gave me enough info to find the right way to get in). Once I knew I was in the right spot to replace my parts the actual replacement took 15 minutes tops! It was as easy as the videos make it look and I felt handy as heck when I was done!!

Eric P Palmerton , PA May 15, 2023 Appliance: Maytag Top Loading Washer MAV2757AWW Flume hose had a hole in it was leaking water. Using a standard screwdriver, I pushed the clips at the front of the washer to unlock it from the whole base. I lifted that whole lid up and saw that the flume hose had a hole in it from rubbing against the drum. I didn't know what the parts were but I got them from the diagram and ordered them. Pinched off the hose clamps, pulled off the flume hose, unscrewed the old flume assembly, screwed the new one on in place, slipped the hose clamps over the new flume hose, attached the new flume hose, then clamped the hose in place. Works perfectly. Read More... 1 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 30-60 minutes Tools: Screwdrivers
Daniel K Kansas City , KS March 09, 2018 Appliance: Amana Top Loading Washer NAV2335AWW Water was leaking outside the tub coming from the back of the flume assembly Replaced the hose and flume assembly because there was so much hard water deposits in the area of the leak I couldn't figure out which was leaking. It was easy to get to, all I had to do was use a flat scraper to push the release clips on each side on the front of the top, then raise it up. Followed the hose down to the water inlet valve, use pliers to remove the clamp, then cut hose free from valve. Next use a 1/4 inch nut driver to remove screws holding flume assembly to the top. Reassemble in reverse order. NOTE be sure to get an extra 1 inch hose clamp, the hose only ships with one. Read More...

Richard H Mobile , AL June 12, 2017 Appliance: Magic Chef Top Loading Washer W225LV Problems going trhough the various wash cycles plus a ticking sound during all cycles The timer was at fault and a new timer restored the wash cycles. Easy to remove the panel and plug and unplug the timer using a 1/4" nut driver and a phillips screwdriver. The ticking noise was made by a loose belt. I had previously purchased a belt but never put it on -- once I rolled the old one off and placed the new one on the ticking noise was gone during operation. While testing the timer I noticed that the flume assembly was cracking so I replaced that as well by simply taking pliers and releasing the hose clamp and snapping in the new part. The washer is quiet and cycling exactly like it should now. Great advice on this website and great videos! Read More...
