Have oppertunity to purchase one for $50. Does anyone have apic? I understand it is a mid century appliance, haven't seen it....any thoughts?

I am going to go look at a maytag E2 LS tommorrow, I have no idea what to expect anyone have a pic of this model? Is it collectable? How much should I offer?

You've read about them in the newspaper, you've seen em on tv. Now be the first and probably the only one on your block to own an early 1960's turquoise Maytag electric dryer. It'll run for about an hour before it starts to squeal like a pig. I had the timer rebuilt a few yrs ago and new belts...

Can anyone tell me about these? I see one listed in the collectible section of Craigslist kansas city Has my curiosity up? practically right next door.

Hi Everybody, believe it or not I found not one but two original water inlet valves at a local appliance store. The repair guy sold em both to me for $20. The first load of laundry was done today sans dryer. Gotta get some buds to help me get the monster into the house from the garage. I am...

Personally, nevuh evuh as the valves are on the floor behind the machine and my ummm, size makes it difficult. However as I thumb through my 1957 Duomatic instruction manual under the heading "Heres what you should do when your washday is over." Number one is: Turn off the Hot and cold water...

yes water entered the tub after cycle ended, even when machine powered off. However , water entered the tub only when "called" during cycle

Hi all, ok so thought the timers on both sides weren't working because they didn't move when I cycled her dry but heeding L's advice I connected her to water and by golly she cycled through the wash cycle. However she didn't click over to dry and water continued to enter the tub, I'm wondering...

Howdy Launderess, Nah I don't consider you as a raincloud. You are exactly right, and it serves me well to be reminded! Though it is not exactly first time at the rodeo, I cook on a chrome top 1948 O'keefe & Merrit and my fridge is a 52 Norge. Current favorite restoration project is a 1966...

WooooHooooo, It is alive. replaced the power cord and a few questionable looking wires and she roared to life....man oh man what a rush! Now to connect her to water and gas and see if that 50 year old gas valve works. Thanks everyone for your support!

Thanks to both of you for the kind words. Being completely OCD After getting Gregs email I grabbed a light, toolbox and a favorite beverage and headed to the garage. Indeed somehow the power cord had been pulled loose from its connecting wires. Whew I can sleep tonight after all! The 580 lb...

Hi everyone, well it came today all 580 lbs. It was a bittersweet meeting.The machine has a rusted bottom pan, I assume from leaking. I plugged it in and immediatly blew a fuse. It didn't even light up, now does nothing. It just sits in the garage mocking me...... It does look pretty good though...

Hi All, Well the 57 Duomatic is enroute all 580lbs of it! (gas) But sadly now my maytag TDE 701 turquoise dryer must go also have a turquouise and white bendix wringer washer that needs a home. Make me an offer. both still work (of course)
