Finding water pooling underneath the bottom of a Maytag residential washing machine is typically caused by a loose internal hose clamp, a clogged drain pump filter, a cracked drain pump housing, or an overflowing detergent dispenser drawer. In many modern top-load Maytag washers, excessive high-efficiency laundry detergent creates a mountain of foam during agitation, and this heavy sudsing can push out through the overflow vent during high-speed spinning, creating an intermittent puddle. You can troubleshoot leak sources easily using the paper towel method. You can verify that your corrective action is successful when using low-suds detergent, tightening internal hose clamps, and clearing the drain filter stops bottom leaks entirely.
