... Read moree at the top of the tub. This is where the Rubber injector valve and Injector Sleeve are located (right on top). Replace these parts and re-assemble the washer by reversing process. I suggest that while you are in this deep, replace the factory compression-type hose clamps with stainless steel hose clamps. You can see this demonstrated on a YouTube video.
The hardest part was getting the front of the washer off! The screws are in an impossible position and angle. It was easy to change the injector sleeve, and the washer has not leaked!!

Leaking at top of tub when filling with water
Did repair as instructed by video, I'm 74 years old if I can do it anybody can!
Waher was leaking at the injecotr valve at the top left of the washer.
The three parts fit together to form one unit. As has been mentioned here already I'm not sure what purpose they serve. I'm also not sure how replacing them stopped the leak but it did. If it had not stopped I think I could have bypassed the valve entirely with a piece of hose or PVC and had it work just fine.
The washer leaked only when i used warm or hot water. I found that the rubber injector valve would get to soft when using hot water,allowing the water to leak through and bubble out and onto the floor. I went ahead and replaced the injector nozzle, injector sleeve and the rubber injector valve. I ordered the parts monday morning and they

This happened once before and had I remembered how to get the front door off and lift the top it would have taken me less time. I actually spent more time assessing prior to ordering parts than in repairing once the parts came.
One odd thing - it only leaked when the hot water was entering (if the settings were on cold only no
... Read more leak - no idea why that should be).
Anyway, this injector and the rubber housing it slides into get old and clogged or deteriorate. I ordered all the parts and replace them - but probably only needed to replace the plastic injector nozzel and the rubber sleeve it fits into.
All good now - no more leaks (until the next time!)
I took the front panel off the machine and then removed the two screws that held the top on. Cut the hose clamps off the hoses and replace the injector sleeve, valve, housing, and hose to tub. I am not sure what the function of this is, other than to inject air into the water before it goes into the tub. Very easy to do if you know how

Water appears to leak out of the injector sleeve. The design of this white part appears to be exposed at the top, so i'm not sure how replacing it solves the problem. Wouldn't water naturally shoot out of the exposed top?
For model number Maytag A8200
Hi Tom,
Thank you for your question. If water is leaking out of the injector sleeve, another part may be causing the issue. I would check the rubber injector valve, the nozzle and the injector tube. The leakage could be caused by deposits of water, debris and soap deposits or the water pressure is too low and will not allow that valve valve to expand against the inside of the sleeve and seal. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

I noticed my washing machine was leaking water. After troubleshooting i found the water leaking out of (overflowing) injector sleeve if it was set for anything other than cold. Is this a bad injector sleeve or could it be a bad injector pump putting too much hot water through?
Hello Mike, Thank you for your inquiry. It is possible that you need to replace either the injector valve. In order to suggest the correct part numbers we will need the model number of the washer. You can submit a follow up with the model number if you would like. Have a nice day!
