Maytag Washer Repair – North Canton, OH (LAT9635AAE)

A customer in North Canton called about their Maytag washer that had water pouring out of bottom when filling. Our diagnosis revealed a serious structural issue that required immediate attention to prevent potential water damage.

The Problem

Water pours out of bottom when filling. The customer noticed water pooling under the washer during the fill cycle, creating a potential flooding hazard in their laundry area.

Diagnosis

The hose barb on the bottom of the tub where the drain hose connects head rusted loose. This corrosion compromised the connection point, allowing water to leak directly from the tub during operation.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: No parts recorded
• Work performed: Reconnected the hose in such a way that it will still pay me for now
• Result: Temporary connection restored, but this is not a permanent fix

Is It Worth Repairing?

For this older Maytag LAT9635AAE model, the extensive rust damage to the tub connection point indicates the washer has reached the end of its serviceable life. The temporary repair we performed is meant to buy time, but using the machine while it is unattended may result in severe water damage to the home. We would recommend replacing the machine whenever conveniently possible.

Maintenance Tips for Maytag Washers

• Inspect drain hose connections annually for signs of rust or corrosion, especially on older models
• Keep the laundry area well-ventilated to reduce moisture that can accelerate metal corrosion
• Check for water pooling under the washer after each load to catch connection issues early
