The hose clamp is used to hold the water hose in place which will prevent the hose from leaking water. Sometimes the clamp may lose its ability to latch on, causing a leaking washer. For the installation, you will need a flat head screw driver to replace the clamp and a drill to access the screws to remove the front of the washer. Be careful if you do not have specific clamp pliers as the clamp could fly off. Once the front of the washer has been removed, take a quick look for water damage or any obvious signs of where the leak is coming from. If it is not obvious, run water to test.

Hi Charles, we cannot be 100 percent certain what is causing the issue. The hose clamp part WP596669 is our best guess as to what would fix your problem. Thank you for your question and good luck with your repair!

Spin cycle has slowed down. Is there a clutch on this model?
For model number MAV208DAWW
Hello Tim, Thank you for the question. This model does not have a clutch. We suggest checking the Drive Belt for wear and the Transmission Pulley and Bearing Kit. We hope this helps!
How do i remove the cabinet on this model of Maytag washer? I have a leak and i can't get the cabinet off to determine where the leak is coming from. It might be something as simple as a hose clamp, but i'm not smart enough to determine how to remove the cabinet. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.
For model number mvwb835dw1
Hi Merrill,
Thank you for your question. There is a video on our website that you can reference on how to remove the cabinet. The washing machine in the video may not show exactly like the one you have and the part being installed is the clutch assembly, but it will show you how to remove the cabinet. You will find the video under part number PS334641. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

the water inlet do not stop hot and cold even when not workig the whasher
For model number mhw5500fw1
Hi Jose, thank you for reaching out. If your washer water inlet valve would not shut off, there are a few possible causes: damaged water inlet valve, broken water level switch, or issue with the hose clamp. We suggest that you check these parts and replace the damaged component to resolve the issue. If you require assistance to place an order, please contact customer service. We hope that helps!

Drive Pump Leaked
It took some trial and error but overall not a difficult project. 1. Take the front covers off. 2. Undo the pully spring to loosen belt 3. Remove belt off idler pulley wheel and free up belt from the large wheel. 4. Disconect the wiring harness and the hoses. 5. Undo the motor mounting bolts (4) 6. Take motor out of washer and remove the 3 screws holding the pump to the motor. 7. The pump had melted to the shaft and required I chisel the pump off of the shaft. 8. Attach new pump paying attention to where the belt is positioned. 9. Reattach the motor bolts, hoses, and wiring harnes. 10. Attach the belt and test the pump. 11. Put the front back on.
Water leak noted on floor at front of washer and at sides
Occasional noted leak became worse and I had a repair service out. Incorrect detection of outer tub seal made so cancelled them and read comments about raising the top. Did so just at start of a rinse cycle to see soapy water shoot from top of syphon break then continue to dribble out through tub empty process--this is what had cause the water to flow down the interior drain hose and out through the side and bottom near the pump.
Ordered all the parts shown here and they arrived just in time for planned work. Did not need or use the clamp and gasket purchased as the gasket was included in the break package and I really like the old-style clamps much better.
Replaced the break and the elbow and put it back together. Things went south on a rinse as water shot out the back hose at the new elbow. I had not realized the size of the new elbow was smaller than the original. Went back to the old elbow but it bothered me that it would still move when the 4 assembly bolt-screws were completely tight.
So far this seems to have worked. There does not seem to be any leaking at all. For those who read this, the job could be done in about and hour for less than I spent if you observe and diagnose properly. It appears that the washer at the end of the Syphon Break wore out and that is what caused the leak.
Thanks much to PartSelect for being in business and to all the posters on this site for helping everyone to get these things done right!
Hired someone. Note: I purchased two (2) hoses and (2) clamps -- this is the third time I am replacing a cracked hose. The manufacturer needs to use better quality and more flexible material for hoses.

Wrong size for the repair
I purchased two parts to complete the repair...the hose and the clamp. Presumably they were sold together to facilitate installation. Unfortunately, the hose clamp would have been better suited for a radiator than a washing machine(4" vs.1") Not the fault of the sales staff....they were only relying on what the merchandising staff told them.
