My Maytag mav208daww won't hold water. When I start the washer the water does not stay in the tub, it immediately goes out. It doesn't fill at all. The water leaked out of the bottom of the washer the first time. The second time I turned it on for about 30 seconds and the water still didn't stay in the tub so I turned on the spin cycle before it leaked onto the floor

Need to check drain pump and its hose connections. If its not from the drum seal then that's usually where the leaks occur.

Check your washer belt has not slipped off.
Just so you know thats not the problem.. Ours went ga ga and it was only the belt!

:o)

the drain hose is off the pipe or other hoses from the pump to the wash tub. old hoses have a split in it. could be more than just hoses.

not easy but fixable you will need to unplug the unit and take the back off and have a look see. good luck and have fun.

probably the water dispenser valve.

two problems here,
your shaft seal is running on its last leg
the sound is unmistakeable and always described the same...
the water issue, you probably have a trickle leak through the cold water valve
the mixing valve is quite an easy repair, but I would have to say with all honesty, it probably time for a new machine
the hub seal is a tub replacment call
2 hrs of labor if hes good
and the tub runs around 500.00 dollars
sory for the bad news
