Maytag washers are designed to be serviced from the front. The front panel is held in place by two small sheetmetal screws on the bottom edge, or on a ridge above the bottom edge.
Maytag washers are old fashioned: they are built to last, and are serviceable.
My 8-10 YO Maytag developed a leak at the seal on the tub itself. I went to a larger library, and checked out two repair manuals. They are very thin; I xeroxed them.
Since yours is so new, it could be just a loose clamp on a hose inside the machine, such as at the pump that pumps out the water, or something similar.
My repair was a major job, requiring two special tool I bought from an appliance supply store. I got all the parts there as well. With help from my brother, we fixed it in a about 2 hours. I replaced all the parts at the seal, so I spent more money than I had to, but hopefully it will be trouble free for many years to come. I run only 2 loads a week, after all.
Even if you don't fix it yourself, knowing exactly what the problem is can save you a bunch of $$$ when the overzealous repair person starts telling you what HE thinks needs to be done. Also, you can get a price from an appliance supply store for any parts that need replacing, in advance, so you know if your repair guy is gouging you on the parts prices.
Good luck!
