Ladies and Gents, Of the gold trimmed center dial 1970's Maytag dryers, which, in your opinion is the better dryer? The Halo of heat or the Big load? Recently I came across a Maytag I like. I am considering buying it. I assume it's a Halo. It has a small door and gold trim. It does not have...

Thank you for all of your responses and information. Thank you very much for your responses. Yeah, I will be picking it up shortly. When I do, I will be posting pics of my Matching Maytags! I have always wanted two things in my life: One, a 1949 Packard custom, preferably a Victoria and...

Hey guys. I have a question about a Big Load Dryer, center dial Maytag circa 1977. I found this dryer, it looks to be in good shape. I have a question, I am thinking of getting it because it would match my washer(a 1977 Maytag 802S). However, one of my relatives asked me if had lost my mind when...

Matching Maytags I want that set so frickin bad! lol. I hope it is around in a week when my tuition refund comes in. Hey Electronicontrl, I did not know there was another Maytag aficionado here in West Mich. Get in touch with me, I'd like to see your collection sometime; small world.

Offensive and Unacceptable I read the listing for the Bendix and found the language used offensive and unacceptable. I understand that people have different views regarding homosexuality, but there is no place for that kind of language on an Ebay listing in 2010. I reported the listing to...

fillers and "new" tide. Looks like I might be soon switching to Gain LOL.

dial the Timer dial

pics of the Maytag's control panel here are some pics of the control panel. the Suds Return works I will usually run it on heavily soiled clothes that need some extra agitation. but the valve and Suds-Saver hoses on the inside of the machine have been removed.

A-206S sudsaver btw, after taking the front panel off, I found that the Sudsaver Valve has been disconnected and is missing (there are two taped wires hanging and thats all). I am assuming that it had been bypassed in its life. If possible, I want to locate another valve assembly and restore...

I have a circa 1977 Maytag A-206S. I love this machine and take great care of it. The top seal under the agitator is like new with no leakage and the agitator comes off with no effort. The question I have is this: how often does the oil in the transmission need to be changed? I am sure that the...

Second rinse Maytag Center Dial My Maytag A-206S does a variant of the second rinse on the Permanent Press Cycle. It rinses , fills, drains, and rinses, and does it again. I thought it was the weirdest thing at first. I never use that cycle because I do not like to waste the water.

What is with the Kirby Heritage II? some of them have the hammer head nozzle similar to the Omega , Tradition and even the Heritage 84, Did only the early 2HD Kirbys have them? Just curious

Cold water washing..............Not in my waterhog Lol. I would rather use my Maytag A206 then any of the "new and improved" modern washers. If I ever decide to retire the Maytag I will then buy a Miele set with the boil-wash setting for the whites. I do wash my denim in cold water and...

bleach and bluing I don't add the bleach at the beginning. I should have clarified that. I learned that the hard way when my grandmother was teaching me laundry when I was a kid, I ruined a shirt by pouring raw bleach on it. I add bleach after the detergent has a chance to do it's job. My white...

LOL going green I use the original Lysol concentrated disinfectant. It has the 1950's hour-glass looking bottle. It smells like antiseptic. Nobody likes it but me. But I figure if it is giving me a headache Imagine what it is doing to the germs! (that should be a slogan). But I digress, with...
