it could be a hose, pump, hole in the outer tub, seal, or your pressure switch hose. youll have to take the front off the washer and see where the water is coming from

I would check the pump for something small that is jamming it sometimes.

If a machine spins and drains, but won't agitate, that sounds like a timer control problem. Wires can come loose or burn up, but that's not as common as a failed contact. If the machine won't agitate or spin, that could be a lid switch problem, which is real easy to fix.

A green wire is usually the safety ground. If it has a ring terminal on it, it will go to a mounting screw or nut. Find the schematic to be sure. Check Repairclinic.com.

it is not a maytag washer machine it is G.E it fills fine with water it also drains and spins but does not agitate.

The drum get stuck when the agitator kicks in, that means that you will probably fix the problem replacing the agitator assembly.
Check also for any dislodged parts.
If also the machine does not tumble at all, check the drum bearing and the spider at the back of the drum.

Did you check to see if you had power coming to the motor during agitate cycle? Use the wiring schematic to check 120V or at least a voltage detector. If you do, then the timer is ok and may be the transmission.

If the motor is not running, it could be a faulty timer. If the motor runs, it could be the transmission. Check to make sure the pump belt is ok and the pump pulley is not seized by tilting the machine back and checking.

The grease that you have in the bottom of the washer is likely coming from the gear case leaking its fluid. The gear case will have to be replace.

I had to replace the pump assembly, the pulley has a bushing in it that was working its way out and rubbing against the base plate of the machine.

Take the water supply hose off and clean out the inlet screen located inside the water valve where the hose was attached to the machine. Note: there may be a screened hose washer on one end of the hose also.

You've got a short circuit somewhere in that electrical circuit.

First, unplug the washing machine.
Replace the fuse. If it doesn't blow immediately, then there is likely a short in the washing machine, and from what you describe, it's in the motor.
If it blows, then there is something wrong in that circuit, and you can likely rule out the washing machine. Check all devices on that particular circuit, of which there can be a number of plugs.

top seal and bearing need replaced not a job for most people

hey guys i guess this is not a uncommon problem. I have a commercial washer about 4 years old that get moderate service at a rental of mine and it is leaking from the tub as well. I hope to fix the problem because the new machines are very expensive.

Here is a diagram of a Maytag top loader. I hope that this helps.

if the tmer works on any of the cycles but not on all of them, you might need to purchase a new timer.

Do you hear the motor activate during the expected spin cycle? If yes, then there might be a gearbox or clutch assembly issue. If not, it might be as simple as the safety switch not being engaged as the rest of the cycles might operate properly even if the safety switch is not engaged.

If the washer totally shuts down when the spin cycle begins, look at the safety switch circuit.

i show the powe going to l1 on the timer and the neutral connects to 7 on the pressure switch let me know
