Maytag Washer Repair – New Philadelphia, OH (MAH6700AWW)

A homeowner in New Philadelphia called about their Maytag washer that was leaking water from the left side and going out of balance during the final spin. The machine came with the house they’d moved into about a month earlier, so they weren’t sure how long the problem had been developing.

The Problem

The customer reported that the washer was leaking a bit of water from the left side of the washing machine and going out of balance during the final spin. The appliance had been in the home when they moved in about a month ago, making it difficult to determine when the issues first started.

Diagnosis

After examining the Maytag MAH6700AWW, we traced the water leak to a failed drain line on the left side of the unit. The compromised drain line was also likely contributing to the balance issues during the final spin cycle, as water drainage problems can affect the washer’s ability to distribute the load properly.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: WP34001284 — Housing
• Work performed: Replaced the drain line
• Result: Issue is resolved

Is It Worth Repairing?

The MAH6700AWW is part of Maytag’s Maxima series, which are generally solid performers when properly maintained. For a drain line repair on this model, the fix makes good economic sense compared to replacement costs. These washers can provide years of reliable service once drainage issues are properly addressed.

Maintenance Tips for Maytag Washers

• Check and clean the drain hose connections periodically to prevent clogs and leaks
• Use HE (High Efficiency) detergent only — regular detergent can cause excessive suds and drainage problems
• Run a cleaning cycle monthly with Maytag’s recommended washer cleaner to prevent buildup in internal components
