Maytag Washer Leaking

[Alex]

I have 7-8 years old Maytag StackUp SE 7800 Washer.

I haven't been using it for about 8 month. Today when I tried to use it I had water leaking from the bottom of the machine.

I opened up the front. There is some oily leaks down on the shaft coming from the drum. Water drops are all over the bottom.

Can anyone tell me what can be the problem?

Thanks

When I run it with front panel open I can see water coming right from where tub connects with spanner nut(round thing with notches).

Can this be fix DIY style?

It can be, but not a job for the faint of heart - see

Good luck!!!!

How much would it cost to be be done by a professional?

Parts alone are about $120, say 1-2 hours labour plus trip charge - looking at $200-250. You have a stack unit, so may require additional time.

I'm no longer in the business, one of the other appliance guys on here should be able to give you a better indication. Obviously, you have to decide whether to invest that kind of cash in a 7-8 year old appliance.

Do you guys know if I can buy just a Maytag Washer for stack unit SE7800 instead of buying washer and dryer?

Thanks
