Why is my Maytag Washer leaking water from the door?
- JJacqueline MooreAug 21, 2025
If you see water or suds leaking from the door or rear of your Maytag Washer, it might be due to using regular detergent instead of HE detergent, or using too much HE detergent. Switch to only HE detergent, measuring it carefully and following the manufacturer's instructions based on your load requirements. If you're running the Clean Washer cycle, avoid thickened or no-splash bleach; use affresh® tablet or regular, non-thickened chlorine bleach. Periodically clean the underside of the glass window to avoid potential leaks. Also, water can drip off the inside of the door if opened during the “Add Garment” phase.
