I was afraid of that. I think I'm going to have to call in the reserve squad to help me out with this. My father-in-law was head of maintenance for an apartment complex for almost 15 years, so he's had experience in this area. I'll post updates when I find out what is going on. Thank you again...

Okay, time for a correction here. We actually have a Hotpoint WLW2500B, not the 3500B I previously stated. Sorry about that. Anyway, is it possible to remove the entire cabinet on this thing to facilitate access to the inner sanctum of automatic laundering, or am I stuck trying to squeeze my...

Okay, we just opened the top of the washer, and filmed three videos of it filling and spinning out. The first one was with an empty tub, the second was with a light load, and the third was with the same load as the second, but we added a pair of jeans. Not one of them leaked, which is why I have...

That is a good point. The only problem is that we just replaced the drain hose a few days ago. I also replaced the old crimp style hose clamp with a new worm-drive hose clamp. When it leaks, water is gushing down nowhere near where the hose connects to the pump. I am home now, so I am going to...

That is certainly a valid point and I will check it out when I get home. I do have a question, though, regarding the pump. Is is possible for the pump to be clogged enough internally that it will strangle the water flow going through it enough that it therefore cannot pump the water fast enough...

Okay, sorry if I was unclear. It does it during the spin cycle. When the tub spins up and the water starts to drain, it will pour out from around the bottom of the tub. I had the back off last night while it was running and there were no leaks whatsoever until it go to the spin cycle. I can't...

Ah, well see. That's what I get for trying to help someone. I didn't realize there were two thermostats. Thanks for the input. @edchalfa: What he said! Ignore my posts about the thermostat. Sorry for any confusion!

For your timer, see this thread: http://www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?1158 Once again, good luck!

Okay, guess the BBCode didn't work. Sorry about that. If you copy and paste the url into your browser, just remove the from the front and the from the back. Sorry again.

Looks like the thermostat is still available from Sears PartsDirect, High Limit Thermostat Part for MAYTAG, Model # DE701 Number: 305865 $30.67 Here's the link, sorry for the long URL...

Okay, I read through that thread. All 88 posts (more or less) and I understand where that could be a problem. My question is, however, wouldn't that leak during more than just the rinse/spin cycle? I would think that we would have water coming out all the time if it was the transmission boot...

We have a "Hotpoint" WLW3500B that is leaking from the bottom of the tub during the rinse/spin cycle only. I say leaking, but in actuality water is all but pouring from the bottom of the tub at this time. I don't think the issue would be any of the seals because wouldn't that leak at times other...
