<click me> "FREE - Maytag Washer/Dryer set. Dryer not currently working, thinking it’s a motor issue. No issue with washer." These aren't mine and I have no affiliation with the seller. I already have a running A712 that's in storage and I have no room left at the inn for another, but this...

Trying to scam the elderly was more likely the reason. It is a somewhat long run, but I was able to remove all of the duct pieces for cleaning except for one 5-ft section of rigid duct. I had easy access to both ends of that piece, and I could see clearly through it afterwards.

Apparently, they had been quoted anywhere from $450-$1k(!) for duct cleaning. Apparently, I'm in the wrong business! I'd be totally raking it in at those rates. Their ducts had been replaced as part of an energy audit fairly recently, I'd like to say within the past 5 yrs? The amount of lint...

I'd like to thank everyone's input. I have an update! First, I went to take a look at the dryer this evening, armed with an IR thermometer and a bunch of tools. <cough> The dryer vent was *very* clogged The good news is that after I cleaned out that elbow and fired up that dryer with the...

It's because the person is planning to pay with a Home Depot credit card, and there's a 12-month 0% apr promo.

I appreciate everyone's responses so far. On a 4th of July weekend, no less! I'd definitely like to look at that dryer before I replace it. For one thing, I know how to fix it, and I even replaced the belt/idler pulley/rollers back in 2018. Other than maybe one thermal fuse and one high temp...

Hello! I believe most if not all of my previous posts on AW are regarding fixing up old washing machines. I've only owned 2nd-hand washing machines all of my life. Anyways.. I've been tasked with finding a *new* replacement washing machine for a family member. Not only does it have to be a...

@combo52, This was my first bearing job on this particular washer, so the bearings that I removed are presumed to be the original. I have replaced tub bearings once before on a Frigidaire-built front loader, so I knew what I was getting into. I do use bleach occasionally, and I'll also use the...

@yogitunes, Where did you source the doors with the glass inserts?

Back in 2016, I purchased a Maytag Neptune (MAH5500BWW) for $50 on Craigslist. Other than it needing a new tub seal, it worked okay, and it has since run hundreds of loads. I mentioned the washer briefly here: https://www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?64365 It has never...

Hey all... I haven't been back to AW in about 5 years because I forgot my password and the password retrieval feature didn't seem to work.. until now, that is. In a span of ~5 months back in 2016, I had picked up a free A512 and a free A712. Despite being two years older, the 512 had much a...
