Because quilts, towels, etc. hold a lot of water, they will only release that water during the spin cycle. If the spin rate is too high, the machine will sling water over the top of the tub thence down and onto the floor. To prevent this, reduce the spin rate from high to low. If you find they are still too wet, run a second spin, only, cycle on a higher setting.

SOURCE: water comes out the bottom of washer as fast as it goes in the top

hazy, it's possible it's running out your pump. You need to pull the cabinet off to get a real look at where the leak is coming from. Check out the pics...and post back.

No need to remove the back panel on this model. You can access everything by removing the washer cabinet. Here's how:

1. Unplug washing machine.

2. Remove console. This can be accomplished in one of two ways depending on which type of console you have.

a. If the console has removable end caps, the caps lift off by prying on the top from the back of the washer. The cap will pull off towards you as you are facing the unit from the front of the washer. There will be a screw under each end cap that you will need to remove.

b. If the console does not have removable end caps, you will need to slide a putty knife under the front corner of each side and push in while lifting up. There is a retaining clip under each side that has to be released.

3. Once the console has been released it will lift up and fold back over the back of the washer in its resting position. Use care not to stress the small plastic hinges that hold it on. They can break easily.

4. Under the console will be two large brass colored clips. Take a large flat blade screwdriver and place it in the groove of the clip on the washer top. With the screwdriver firmly in the groove, push away from you towards the back of the washer. This will release the clips.

5. Disconnect the lid switch connector plug. This is the white colored plug on the washer top under the console.

NOTE: The washer will NOT operate with the lid switch connector unplugged. If you wish to attempt to test the washer for leaks with the casing removed, you will need to by-pass the lid switch. This can be accomplished by jumpering the two black wires together at the lid switch receptacle. CAUTION: DO NOT attempt to jumper the wires with the washer plugged in! Attach jumper, then plug the washer in.

6. Remove the washer casing. Open the lid of the washer. Using one hand, grip under the front rim of the washer opening. Do not grab the wash tub, just the casing. Tilt the washer case from the back first towards you, slide forward slightly, and then lift up. The entire case comes off exposing the wash tub and components.

Now, you stated your washer leaks during the rinse cycle. Double check all hose connections on the water pump (located directly in front under the wash tub). The pumps have also been known to start leaking along the seams. NOTE: If the pump leaks, it is NOT serviceable and must be replaced. They do not come apart.


To re-install washer case:

1. With the lid of the washer open, place grasp case under front rim and place it on the washer frame. While looking down through the washer lid opening, make sure the front lip of the case is placed UNDER the washer frame and rocked back onto the frame to ensure that the small cleats on the frame fit into the slotted grooves on the washer case base. If you do not get the case seated correctly it will rattle and vibrate while the washer is in operation.

2. Make the back of the washer fits into the washer casing on each side and reinsert the brass clips. Place the clip into the slot on the back of the washer first, and then forcefully push it into the opening on top of the washer. It will snap back into to place.

3. REINSTALL LID SWITCH CONNECTOR. It is easy to forget. If you do not reconnect it, the washer will not work correctly.

4. Reinstall console.

I know it seems like a lot, but it is an easy process if you take your time and follow the steps as written. Let me know if you need further assistance.

SOURCE: leaking water from underneath towards the right side.

The pad is an insulation pad to keep heat in the washer. It might be worth pulling the washer out and checking the water feed and drain connections - it's a good bet one of these is leaking.

Tip the washer onto the front and you will be able to see through the bottom to look for leaks.

I assume this is an older top loader. You may have something stuck in the pump itself. I can tell you how to check this. Following is cabinet removal instructions:

  • Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the screw from each side of the console.
  • Pull the console forward and up to remove the tabs on the bottom of the end caps, out of the holes in the top.
  • Lift the console up and lay it on its back.
  • Unplug the harness connectorfor the lid switch.
  • Insert a flat screwdriver into the front edge of the clip (located on both sides), and pry back. Remove both clips from the holes in the cabinet and slide down the other end of the clips and out the slot in the rear panel.
  • Open and hold the lid while grabbing the cabinet front opening. Be sure when tilting the cabinet that the back edge clears the vacuum break.
  • Tilt the top of the cabinet toward you by pulling on the lid and opening of the cabinet. This releases the back slots of the cabinet from the tabs in the back of the base.
  • Carefully pull the cabinet away from the base of the washer and set it aside.
    Now you have access to most of the parts.
Now in front of you on bottom is the pump. It's usually white in color. Without taking it off the motor, make sure it is someplace where you can let the water run out of the machine. Remove the clamp from the wash tub to the pump and look inside. There may be a small garment or something similar inside. You can use a small needle nose plier to get to this and remove it. Reattach the hose and close the cabinet in reverse order.

Hope this helps you

Joe

My Neptune front-load washer goes through every cycle on time and with the proper water-in and water-out but refuses to spin-dry at any point. I noticed the original problem when it was spin-drying a...

if the washe model number does not start with MAH5500B: Check if the "locked"or "door locked" light comes on. If it does not, you need to replace the wax motor in the door lock assembly and the machine control board, which is inside the control panel. The control board is expensive, so instead of buying the whole control board, if you're good in electronic repair and soldering, try checking ebay for the control board repair kit. Search for "MAYTAG NEPTUNE WASHER R11 Q6 REPAIR KIT". It has all instructions how to do the repair. Good luck!

The washer stops in the middle of cycle and water stays inside

First check your washer plug to see if the connections are tightly screwed. Next check your filter if you haven't for long.

Remove the 3 screws at the bottom of the front panel under the washer door. Your filter door will be light brown. If you find a hose there it is to drain out excess water (water that could not be drained by your pump) After you hv drained unscrew the cap and remove all the junk inside. Have a large plastic bag to catch junk and water. Refit carefully after cleaning out. If not solved, something shd be blocking your pump, check this out

Washer shakes bad

You probably have already checked this but since you do not say.........

Is the unit solid and level on the floor........with the leveling legs turned down as low as possible with the lock nuts tight.......?

If you put a glass of water on the dryer next to the washer, can you see the water vibrating when the washer is in spin? You may have weak floors.........Cement floor is the best floor, after that you need to check........

You do not say there is any noise, is the unit walking on the floor?

When new and installing there are shipping bolts and or straps to remove before using......

good luck,
enjoy the weather

Does water continusly pour on clothes when it dries them ?

The inlet valve is where the water comes into your machine, top behind. The cold water valve is probably stuck open. It should open only when there is voltage across the valve. Check if wires are fitted tight. It could just be clogged inside. If you can remove it, you might be able to take it apart and clean it. Just make a note of how parts fit together as you are taking it apart. Clean all parts with old toothbrush and reassemble. Before you reinstall, connect it to a garden hose outside. No water should come out when you turn the hose on. If it still fails, just buy a new valve.
  1. Unplug washer, turn off water supply and remove hoses from the back of the washer.
  2. Remove the top panel by removing the three screws that hold the panel in place in the rear of the washer. With the screws removed, the panel will slide back, then lift off.
  3. The water inlet valve will be located at the left rear of the washer (as viewed from the front).
  4. Remove the dispenser hose, electrical connections and mounting screws and the valve is removed.
  5. Install new valve by following these steps in reverse order. NOTE: When reinstalling top panel, make sure you lay panel on top of washer, leaving a couple of inches of room from the front panel. Then, slide panel towards you (front of washer) so that the top panel slides into the mounting clips.
