I've looked all over the forums and didn't see a post that is exactly the problem that I'm having.

Our washer has recently gotten to where it intermittently leaves water in the washer during/after the spin cycle. Last weekend, during the spin cycle, our laundry room flooded. There was water inside of the washer, along the frame at the bottom, but I didn't pay attention to whether is was higher on the inside.

The first thing that I did was checked for any cracked hoses, or a problem with the plumbing, and everything was alright.

I'm thinking that either the pump didn't remove the water and it spun it out of the basket and it flooded down the inside of the washer or the pump/outlet hose, has a problem.

Is it possible for the outlet hose to be clogged and the water not be removed from the basket when it goes into the spin cycle?

I've never worked on a washer before, so I'm just throwing out some ideas. If anyone has any idea what might be the problem, I'd love to know what you think.

Also, does anyone have schematic for this washer? I've been waiting for Maytag to post one online, but they have never put anything on their website about this washer.

BTW, once we got the laundry room cleaned up and I watched my new laminate flooring buckle as it dried, I plugged the washer back in and it seems to work fine now. :confused:

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!!!

Well, I finally got a chance to look at the washer and found what might be the problem.

There is a little plastic thing on the left rear of the tub (as you're looking from the front), it has a black rubber hose coming off it and has to do with the water level. I blew into the hose and could hear a switch turn off/on in the control panel.

I ran the washer and let the tub fill and it stoppped, just like it's supposed to. But, then I took the hose loose and water squirted out of the hole in the top of the plastic "bubble" on the tub and the water started filling again. When I reconnected the black hose, the water kept on running and would have overflowed the top of the tub if I had not stopped it. When I turn the timer to the spin cycle, the water almost spun out of the tub, so I had to baby it until it finished.

I had read some other posts about something called and air dome, is that what the little plastic thing is on the tub, and is it supposed to have water in it?

Thanks!!
