A Massillon homeowner called about their Maytag washer leaking water on the floor. Even after unplugging the washer, water was still running, forcing them to shut off the water supply. We found a faulty water valve that needed replacement.
The Problem
Water was leaking on the floor around this Maytag washer. The customer unplugged the washer and water was still running, so they had to shut off water to stop the leak.
Diagnosis
The water valve was failing to shut off properly, allowing continuous water flow even when the washer was unplugged. This created the floor leak and the ongoing water flow the customer experienced.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: 12002158 — water valve
- Work performed: Replaced water valve
- Result: Water flow stops properly when washer cycle ends
Is It Worth Repairing?
The MAV7550AWW is a reliable Maytag top-load washer from their Centennial series. Water valve failures are common repair issues that extend the machine’s life significantly when addressed promptly. These washers typically run 15-20 years with proper maintenance.
Maintenance Tips for Maytag Washers
- Check water supply hoses annually for cracks or bulges, especially on older Maytag models
- Clean the lint filter monthly if your Maytag model has one
- Run a cleaning cycle with washer cleaner every 3 months to prevent buildup
