Hi,
I have a Maytag SAV515DAWW washer model and everytime it spins, it leaks. I opened the bottom front pannel and looked and found the water came from around the piece what they called the brake (?) just at the center of the shaft right below the tub. What do I have to do? I tried to seal around it but I noticed that the water came from somewhere too. How do I take them apart to check it out? Anybody has some diagram/instructions/repair-manual for this model? I tried to search all over the internet (even from maytag website) but could not find anything for this model. Any help would be much appreciated.

Loribh1,

Thanks for the diagram. But what I meant was is there some kind of instructions (i.e. something like repair manual of how to replace the parts, etc). I tried to find the repair manual for Maytag of my model but could not find any.
