My Maytag MAV6000 washer leaks intermittently. In the past 3 weeks it has been used many times but has leaked 3 times. I removed the front panel to look at the pump and hoses and put the washer through a complete cycle and saw no leaks anywhere. Another question, even though the washer was in the washing mode, water was rushing through the pump, though it was not draining into the sink. Maybe it was just circulating through the pump and not going out the drain hose. We are a wits end. I don't want to replace this 10 year old washer if I can do a non-costly repair.

Possible that you would have a tub seal leak if it is only noticable during spin cycle. Possible that it "drips" slightly while in agitation, but not enough to notice it. While in spin mode you have a lot more parts moving as well as a lot more water pressure on the seal itself. Pump could also be leaking, but highly doubtful since it would leak a constant amount at all times. Good Luck!!! Jim

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

It is your water pump. If you don't know what you are doing it could be tough.

Testimonial: "Thank you very much. I found out I need special tool to remove the water pump's screws. It is not diffcult do it with diagrams. "
