I recently posted about changing a 1 speed Maytag washer to a 2 speed. Another member posted they used a 2 speed motor and a toggle switch for the speed control. I am not mechanically inclined but I have a friend that is and willing to work on this--he knows about motors and wiring just not so...

I just do a search on ebay for "maytag washer control panel"--mostly there are just newer machine panels--there was only one 80's style panel that I saw a month or two ago and I think someone bought it.

The toggle switch is a great idea--I'll have to check that out--the washer I have is almond color and it would look strange with a white control panel.

I have a two speed motor for it--I've been checking ebay for months but I've only come across 80's style fabricmatic consoles.

I have a 1993 Maytag LAT9200BAM that is in good shape but it only has one speed and I'd like to convert it to a two speed. If anyone has an older style control panel for sale that would work please let me know. Thanks!

Thanks for your response. I'll have to check out some junkyards & see if I can come up with something.

I recently acquired a 1993 Maytag Washer LAT9200BAM. It's in good shape for it's age--it needs a new pump and the damper pads hopefully just need lubed. The drawback is that it's only a one-speed motor; if I can get a two-speed motor do I have to get a new control panel in order to make it...

Thanks Brian & Red Carpet Drew -- that helps a lot. I'll give it a try this weekend. Doug

I was just putzing around the workshop tonight and got out the tub cover--that's going to be fun.  Is the tub cover supposed to sit on the lip of the outer tub or is it supposed to go down over the lip?  I know there is supposed to be a clearance so the spin tub doesn't rub against the tub...

Hi Brian, Thanks for the info--I'll try again. It is certainly not any fault of yours. I've poked around on this site & others for information on different areas of the work I was doing. Since I'm really new at this it's my own fault for not following the instructions I do have! Thanks for...

I checked all the damper bolts and outer tub bolts and everything seems secure. I read over the thread about the stop lug. I've attached a video to show how mine is working--maybe I did that wrong? I didn't think when I first put it back together there was as much play as what there is now. I...

Hi everyone -- thanks for all the comments and suggestions. I know its hard to diagnose a mechanical problem from a blurry video with crappy audio. redcarpetdrew: I never thought about the damper bolts; I'll check them over. alr2903: I'm not familiar with a 60 hz pulley. The agitation...

Here's a shorter one with the old agitator back on. The sound seems more constant in the video, but when I was standing there it also seemed to come and go. Any ideas? Thanks -- Doug

There is still a knocking sound but I don't think it is as constant as it was before. I had a really hard time getting the old agitator back off again so I tried the one from my inside machine. Also, I wanted to see how well it washed compared to the old one. Not as good, but better than I...

Then I put on the mounting stem and it looks like it should be good
