I have a Maytag Neptune MAH 5500BWW front load washer; two weeks ago the pump went out. We replaced the pump and while we were working on the machine we replace the moldy washer door boot, yes, I now know that was a huge mistake...
The pump is working great; I have two questions in regards to a leaking door boot gasket. I have reseated it three times using the factory instructions a local parts house was nice enough to provide. The gasket leaks twice during a cycle, on the quick cycle, starts at 40 minutes. It leaks the first time at minute 25 and continues until 22. During this time the washer continues to fill with water and the pressure is relived only once the washer drains. The washer door leaks the second time at minute 10 to 8. The washer is filling during this time as well and leaks until the drain comes on at minute 7...
Ok, so my questions are:
1. What are the times the washer fills during the quick wash cycle?
2. How full is the washer water level supposed to get?
The leak is at the bottom of the door and is an active trickle during the noted time above. It is a three to four large towel clean-up...
Could this be an issue with the Hi Pressure switch?
Your help and suggestions are greatly appreciated!
