Reply to applyguy Thanks for your suggestion. Our dryer has a separate ground wire connecting to the cabinet on the upper left hand side, where there is a factory-equipped ground screw. Ed has tested with a 100 watt test lamp, and found all areas of the cabinet checking out to be grounded...

Hello again! I finally got Ed, my better half, working on the dryer that wont' stop drying again! (See posts # 470726, 470729, 470738, 470734, 470756 & 470780) Following all of your helpful advice, Ed first checked the unit for proper grounding. He also checked to make sure that the ground...

Our dryer has the lint trap in the front, and is Model #DE808. I open the door, look down and pull the lint trap out of the front curved rim. I will share your ideas with Ed as soon as he gets home, and let you know! Thanks for your early posts! Nancy

Hello everyone, Now that my classic Maytag is up and running like it is new, (See Thread Number 29612 - Maytag A806) it is time to make the matching Dryer also work at peak performance. Don't get me wrong, it dries stupendously. The problem is, it doesn't know when to stop! It no longer dings...

New method to remove agitator on A806 OMG! It worked! We applied heat near the base of the agitator with my blow dryer. Ed looped a nylon rope down the shaft and around the edge of the shaft above the base twice, on opposite sides (equal, balanced force). We then took a...

New problem You guys are a godsend. Anyway, Ed is now putting the machine back together. I will let you know when he has it running again! NEW PROBLEM: We seem to be missing a retainer/clip for the timer dial assembly. Do any of you know the part number for this thing? I am thinking of...

Hello guys. qsd-Dan- Love the Maytag guy! I have the information on the A806: Model: LA806, ------Series: 02, ---------Serial #: 735921 EJ Ed (my husband) loved the pics in the link. He is still reassambling the stuff that is attached to the tub, like springs and stuff. After we get it back...

You guys are awesome!!!! I will let him know the tricks of the trade. At least we can stop looking for something that doesn't exist!! I will let you know how it turns out. Yesterday, we cleaned the tub (yes, he has removed it) in the back yard. You should see the chunks of rust (they look like...

Okay, I think my husband finally met his nemesis! He can usually fix ANYTHING. He is a certified engine rebuilder, for Pete's sake! Anyway, my late 70's early 80's Maytag (Model A806) finally died. When Ed tore it apart, He found a leak (bleach dispenser crack) had frozen the bearing. Okay...
