time wiring Just the wiring schematic for the new type of timer. I have the old schematic with the old part, but the new timer is physically different, and you have to snap on about 15 wires. Also, since I thought I had the new one hooked up correctly following the old schematic, I ran it...

Does anyone know where I can find the wiring schematic to hook-up the new style timer for the Maytag A412? The new timer is model #4430814. I have the old schematic, but am unsure if that is a straight conversion.

I have two older machines, a Maytag A412 mid-80s, and a Kenmore (Whirlpool made) 110.26902692 mid 90s, and both still answer the bell--but with some groans and sounds. Nothing major and they both clean clothes real well. Anyhow, when the time comes to repair them, should they be repaired? Or...

Model number The model number of the Dependable Care Maytag I am looking at is LAT 8714AAL with a serial number of A0202289 KM. Which brings me to another question: where is a good resource for matching production dates and places with the Maytag serial number. I took a look at it today and...

What are the differences, if any, of the A412 I referenced previously and the Dependable Care Maytags (Model starts with LAT) of the mid-1990s? I have read that the Dependable Care, though unspectacular in bells and whistles, is nearly bullet proof and washes clothes well like Maytag used to do...

Does anyone have any comments about a Maytag a9400? I found one on Craigslist. Are they of the same quality as the A412 that I currently have? Did they have any known problems? About when were they made? Thanks.

Good to know Whenever I am washing shop or bathroom towels, I will stick around to make sure it acts correctly. Thanks for the tips.

I have a Maytag A412 I picked up from a family member recently, and I want to know about the balance sensitivity. Today, when I was washing a small load of towels (one large bath towel, and two medium hand towels) the towels lined up on one side of the tub and when it went into the spin cycle it...

A608 So would the A608 be considered a TOL washer, just manufactured years earlier, or were they considered higher quality overall as compared to the A412? I am trying to get a handle on the models and their quality if I ever come across one in store. If the choice was between an A712 and an...

Does anyone have a comparison sheet or scanned promotional for Maytag washers? I have an A412 from my grandmother that is a tank, but I remember my mother having an A408 or A608 from the early 1980s. (I don't know which since it was long ago.) Of the three which had the larger tub? Were any...
