Yes, sealed up in a ziplock bag🙂

I guess I need to ask, are you a museum type of guy? Everyone seems to know you well. I happen to have them packed very well for you. I put all of the info and sprinkler inside of the washer. Just promise not to laugh too loud when you see the cartons they are shipped in ( you will understand...

SOLD!!!! Looks like Melvin is the winner! I think they will be going to a good home.

I am selling my Maytags. I have had them since 2019. They have served me well, but we are not repairmen. I am still using both, but they are needing some TLC and we are tired of fiddling with them. The good, they still look the same as when I got them. The bad, the washer needs fill valve work...

The end result Replaced a belt and a bulb, repaired the terminal block, reconnected a wire, and replaced missing screws....and learned something doing it as well. Awesome. I'll be back!!

A lucky day Well, I guess I must just be living right. While cleaning up and inspecting the thermostat switches and generally everything inside the back of the dryer I have found the problem. A wire had come off the Spade terminal of one of the thermostat switches, how easy could it be. I...

damper pads Well I have no exploded parts diagrams yet to look at, so I'm not sure right now where or what the damper pads look like or are located... I assume I might be able to identify them once i remove the front panel and start looking once again... I agree that it dosent really...

I'm the repairman Hello group, thanks for responses to Riverrat's concerns about her washer, I'm Peter, I'll be maintaining these for quite a few more years hopefully. I've replaced both belts with new maytag belts so I don't believe it's a belt noise, they are in like new condition. My ear...

Studying Hey guys, thanks for all the great information. My hubby is studying everything and will be asking you all questions as soon as he starts the repair.

... gsd-dan Thanks for the info. Any guesses on where to start for a parts list. I have a local store that got the belts, but don't know how much help they can be for a parts list. If anyone out there has one, could you please post it.

After 2 years.. Greetings All, After 2 years of use of my beauties the washing machine is starting to squelch squelch squelch when it is spinning. I have replaced the belts, so what is my next step? I looked up the manuals posted on this site, but there is not one for my year that I can find. I...
