Maytag Washer Repair – Canton, OH (LAT2301AAE)

A Maytag washer on Schneider Street Northeast in Canton was leaking water during wash cycles. Our diagnosis revealed the tub had a tendency to stick to one side or the other, causing water overflow when positioned incorrectly.

The Problem

The customer reported their washer was leaking during operation. Water was escaping from the unit and creating puddles on the laundry room floor.

Diagnosis

Upon inspection, we found the tub had a tendency to stick to one side or the other. When the tub was stuck in the forward position away from the back of the machine, the water ran over the edge. This misalignment was causing the leak the customer experienced.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: No parts were installed
• Work performed: Diagnosis of tub alignment issue
• Result: We told customer that replacing bushings and springs would possibly help. Customer is going to look for new machine.

Is It Worth Repairing?

This older Maytag top-load washer has suspension system wear that would require multiple parts and labor to address properly. Given the age and extent of repairs needed, the customer made a practical decision to shop for a replacement unit instead.

Maintenance Tips for Maytag Washers

• Check that loads are balanced before starting cycles to prevent excessive tub movement
• Inspect suspension springs annually for stretching or damage that affects tub stability
• Clean around the tub seal regularly to prevent buildup that could affect alignment
