We just had the same problem, and the solution may be much easier than one might think if they have never cleaned out their washing machine before. We have had ours for over 10 years, and have never cleaned it. The drain plugs in the washing drum can become clogged over time such that the motor can't drain the water fast enough before the machine spins up - resulting in excess water centrifuging up and over the top edge of the drum and down onto the floor when a heavy load has been placed in the drum with a lot of water during the spin cycle. Here is one (or I'm sure many) ways to solve this problem (assuming that you have already checked all lines/drains/seals for leaks and none exist): http://www.onegoodthingbyjillee.com/2012/04/how-to-clean-your-top-loader-washing.html




We, also, had that problem. We discovered that the large, donut shaped piece, at the top of the drum, which Maytag calls a "Tub Cover" had started splitting, allowing water to come out during the spin cycle. It's about an $80 part, which I replaced myself, and it solved the problem. I ran a load of wash with the front cover removed to discover the problem.
