    Whirlpool Washer Rant!

    All of the new washers, whirlpool or Maytag are not what they used to be. In 2012, I bought the mid range Maytag Bravos XL set. 2 months in the F51 started showing up when it would try to spin. They sent a repair outfit to take a look, who deemed it unrepairable. They brought me a new one...

    Does anyone else hate the "normal" cycle on new washers?

    New Maytag I just bought a Maytag like the member above, I used their picture. It was doing all kinds on wonky things. Towel and bulky setting, it would run the water a little bit, not even enough to have standing water in the bottom, then start washing with the impeller with no water for...

    Here’s one for vintage air conditioner lovers

    Coldspots and tickets John, I have a Coldspot Fridge and a 220 volt Window Ac unit and a 110 volt version of the same model. They were in my great grandparents house. The 220 one was in the front window and cooled the gigantic living room and bedroom and the 100 volt was in the small, but long...

    Maytag De808- Let the lint fly

    Cleaned, but reassembled correctly? I took this dryer down to where it was a naked base plate and a pile of parts and wires and redid everything. So everything was 100% like new when re-assembled. However though, I am wondering if I put everything back correctly as far as those thin strips of...

    Maytag De808- Let the lint fly

    I recently rebuilt a DE808, and it seems like a lot of lint gets by the screen. Is this just a normal for these? I bought a new lint screen and it seems a little loose in there but not much.

    Maytag HDE 806 Dryer no longer heating

    Instructions for thermostat There should have been instructions telling you where to put that thermostat setting at. This might help if this is the one you got. PS, I didnt read all the thread before saying the same thing everyone else did. Hey, though, I did have a attachment, LOL

    Maytag Rotor Bearing-What way is the right way

    Finally got it apart and holy Radial! Looks like the radial bearing, I think that is what it is called, was spinning in the damper. It didnt run long like that. Is this salvageable?

    Bravos XL Service manual

    Does anyone have a actual service manual for one of these. I have a MVWB850YW0 and a MVWB980BW0. I have the tech pamplet for them. I was wondering if there is a service book that shows everything. Blaze

    Maytag Tub Seals

    Nobody changes the tub seal? Is this part not commonly changed? or reused? The old one doesnt leak, but Im scared it will if I tear it down up to that point. Someone local suggested I tightened the pulley too much and the lower brake bearing is the one making the noise. I re-greased it, but...

    Maytag Tub Seals

    My A208's damper and brake assembly started acting up. The hot water hose broke open and was shooting water in the hole in the cabinet, for the drain hose. So, water was running inside the cabinet and flowing through the three holes that dump into the bottom. Brake does not stop the tub and...

    1st time restore DE808

    I started a new thread, I know, don't kill me! But I wanted a broader topic to attract everyone that can help. This is my first restore on this and I got way to eager and took some things apart without getting a picture. What wires run through the V shaped clip under the ballast? All or just...

    DE808 Felt seal and Bulkhead

    Drum Rollers The book says to lube these roller shafts on the rear bulkhead with s.b.l. oil. 55975 I think, but I cannot find a aftertaste, anywhere of what that is. LoL
