The very next time I used the washer (on warm) it leaked while it agitated and possibly while it spun. I am thinking it is the pump because that is the area that the water seems to be coming from, but the bottom panel of the washer is not getting wet. Could it be leaking around where the pulley goes into the pump? I need to find a manual or instructions that tell me how to replace the pump. It looks like I am going to either turn the washer on its side and take the bottom off or take the drum and everything out to get to the pump. Thanks.

Remove the screw on each side on the bottom of the front panel. Grab the front panel on the bottom and lift it up for about 45° to release it from the locking tabs on the top. Run the washer and watch the leak. Here are the break down diagrams for the Maytag washer Model LA9800 Gene.

However, the retainer clips came loose and I cannot figure out how to reattach them. Please clue me in. Thanks, Master of Nothing
