Pump replaced - washer quiet again Did not find anything in the old pump so looks like it was the bearings. Thanks for your help.

I don't see a foreign object in the pump, although I will have a better look when I actually take it out of the machine. The explanation about the bushings make sense. New pump is on order. That said, how would I be able to tell if the old one can be oiled and what type of oil would I use?

You have a nice collection! I think that would be a good idea to get in touch with collectors in Canada. Would questions about this machine be more appropriate in the "Deluxe" forum?

I would love one of those older sets, and am definitely keeping my eyes open for them. They do seem harder to come across up here in Canada (maybe it was a smaller market, I'm not sure). Mechanically this seems very similar to the older Maytags, other than the transmission.

Hi Everyone. New member here. I have some questions about a 1994 Maytag Dependable Care Plus LAT9704AAE that I recently purchased from the original owners. It is in great condition and works great although I noticed the transmission throws a bit of oil when it spins. It is currently sitting in...
