Kenneth S San Carlos , CA April 15, 2016 Appliance: Maytag Top Loading Washer LAT8740AAW 1 water leaking on the floor at left side and 2 occasionally tub filling a number of inches when sitting 1. Sleeve for input, Injector valve, nozzle and seal for input fixed this problem. Probably the main part that was the trouble was a deformed Injector Valve which is a rubber tube with an internal retention groove at the wide part that grips the Nozzle. The Sleeve and the Nozzle are hard plastic parts that basically looked fine, but I replaced them anyway while I was in there. Additionally I replaced the rubber Seal for Input which seals the plastic input fitting to the tub just to make sure no back splash was getting through there. The input fitting at the tub is a "turn 90 deg to release" type arrangement. 2. Replaced Water Inlet Valve assembly to cure occasional water found in tub after sitting. Solenoid valves in general can be trouble when they get some tiny debris or sediment in them. They'll open just fine, but when they close they sometimes can't seal perfectly due to material in the seat area. Hence the weeping that'll very slowly cause rising water in the tube when just sitting. Scary when you're away for awhile. Best to shut off valves at wall! Also replaced 2 belts underneath just for good measure. Read More... 129 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 1-2 hours Tools: Nut Drivers, Screwdrivers
Basil I Oceanside , CA September 06, 2014 Appliance: Maytag Top Loading Washer A209S Our maytag washer (a209) started leaking as it filled a couple weeks ago i am 97 years old and my daughter wanted to buy a new machine I suggested that I be allowed to find the trouble which she agreed to. I opened it, flipped the fill switch and found the leak to be at the top rear left side of the machine. It looked to be some kind of injection valve. When opened, it looked to be a short rubber tube with a plastic gadget inside. Research on my computer showed that the rubber inlet valve may be the cause. I ordered the part from APP. It was delivered Wednesday but I ordered the nozzle. I ordered the rubber valve for sure this time and it came Friday. Within twenty minutes, I had it installed and tested. It worked perfectly. It took me another hour to re-install the face of the machine, but it is done and is a good repair. I felt good because it was a good tangible work project. Ten days ago, I installed a replacement garage door opener by myself. I am a fix-it man.
