Hello – our Maytag Washer, Model LA710, SN 645574 JT of 1982 has developed rest at the nipple on the bottom of the tub 2-5484 (a few inches above the motor) where the bleach hose 2-14433 attaches. The bottom half of the steel tubular nipple has rusted away, so that there is no simple way to stop water from leaking out.
I was initially confused by the presence of the plastic legs of the 2-14434 that protrude there.
Anyway, we want to repair the machine if possible.

Any ideas?

I am wondering if I can just apply a huge glob of epoxy and close off the damaged port (after de-rusting).
Would epoxy be waterproof in such an application?

Epoxy may work if you get the surfaces really clean and take the tub out to apply it. Dont expect a miracle .
