I got the last sudsaver washer made and it is a Maytag. Your siphon hose is maybe plugged, check the screen on it. The leaking, maybe that is the washer too full. Put clothes in and then add the water. Sometimes it swishes over and leaks. Been there done that.
Another suggestion. Maybe the timer is on it ways out. My did this and we ordered online for the part (call Maytag to get the right part number for your machine) and saved over $75 on the part alone. 10 minutes to install it ourselves.
My washer too, was leaking. I took the front panel off. (Look online for instructions on how to do this.) I started the wash machine, so I could see where the leak was coming from. I discovered a hole in the washtub! I went to Wal Mart and bought some JB Waterweld. I applied this to the hole. (You could not see the hole inside the tub. This hole was on the outside of the tub.)...Apparently the tub had rusted through. The hole was about the size, of the diameter, of a pencil. This stopped the leak! I was shocked! It has not leaked in a year!

I have a question on my my Maytag washing machine. It's a top loading Atlantis model. Recently it has been over flowing and not spinning out the water after a wash cycle.
I have a fairly new Kenmore washer (purchased new in 2002) and it has two settings for washing, heavy duty and regular. For some reason it only washes and agitates in the Regular cycle, but it doesn't drain and spin.
My Kenmore washer won't drain on its own. Each drain cycle, I have to push in the knob and pull out again, then it drains.
I have a Frigidaire heavy duty, extra large capacity, 2 speed combo 3/4 horse power motor washing machine. My machine is not working properly when you put clothes into washer it fills with the water and washes the clothes, but when it goes into the rinse cycle it spins as if it is going to empty out the water, but it doesn't. What might be the problem?

Sounds like the water pump. Call a repairman.
We have had very good luck repairing our own washing machine by searching online for how to repair it ourselves. Here are some links we found helpful.

It might be the drain is plugged. This happened to me once when washing new towels. The fluff plugged a hose and a repairman fixed it. Wish I'd tried to fix it myself like adina72.
I had this happen twice. Once there was a baby sock stuck in the drain hose/filter. Once it was the pump gone bad. If it is a sock you could fix it yourself.
