what cause the mishap was vaccume line along the bottom of the tub that goes to water level control was pulled off nipple on the tub.the nippile is not surrade or hose bevels to hold hose from vibrating off . So when it spun to go to rinse the hose pulled off. they us a hair pin type clip worhtless cheap way only maytag.

the machine is a admrial capacty plus " " maytag " " look through a hole in back about the middle you can see nipple and hose attached. pop up top for easy access left side back corner.this happen friday 10-24-08 am.know on my way to lowes to buy new flooring and rugs no insurance to cover loss sham sham wont happen again i bough insurence this morning.
