Hi all! I have a Maytag front loader that was made for the Australian market. It is a rebadged Hoover 7 model with Maytag badge on it.
Its been a great machine for the last 5 years but last night I had a problem with it, and I thought someone here might be able to help.
Washing cycle was fine, but it started playing up on the rinse cycle. It was rather noisy so I went to look at it. When rinsing the machine fills to a point. Then it starts to tumble and the recirculation jet kick in. It proceeds to keep filling with water till it is just lapping at the bottom of the seal.
However it filled up to the first point, then tumbled and the water jet came on. However no more water entered and then the jet stream got weak as there was not enough water and the pump started drawing air through it, making a gurgling noise.
I thought it might be a one off occurence, so I put it on again this morning for its final rinse and it did the same thing again. Of course this time I was on hand and added a jug of water through the dispenser drawer and all was well. However I cant be on hand all the time to add extra water.
So dear friends, what do you think may be wrong with it, and would it be easy to fix? I have just moved house and spent a fortune on different items, so I dont really want to be buying a new one.
Thanks in Advance!
