Robert, I am so sorry to hear of your retiring from AWO. I soo love what you have grown this site to be, but you are not going anywhere so we will still get to see you and your wonderful projects. Enjoy your retirement and have some fun! Hopefully we can run into each other again like we did...

We also have a 712. There was a piece of plastic with a small metal rivet looking thingy in it. When the solenoid would engage, that plastic thingy would swing back and forth on the solenoid mechanism and smack the bell if that makes sense? That plastic piece is NLA. I have looked around for...

Sean, I just sent you an email about a 808 on FB market place in case you are still looking.

Reply 15 We have a tankless gas on demand water heater. We also have 2 sets of the older full sized Bosch front load laundry that is not shown in the picture. The front load sets are the go to for most things.

More matching We have a few of those matching Maytags. Congratulation on your latest acquisition! (left-to-right) A matched set of A712/DE712"s, an A613, and a DG512. On a side note, with having solar and the heat here in the NE, I have been trying to run the electric dryer (712) as much as...

Not nearly as nice as some other members machines, but here are our mid to late 80's Maytag examples. Left to right. A matched set of 712's. A 613 washer. And a DG512 dryer.

Make sure the lock is not in the "closed" position. If it is, you should be able to use a paper clip to flip to the open position.

We currently have a set of Bosch Nexxt and Vision. The Nexxt set I got new in late 06' It has never stopped. The only problem we have had with the Vision set is the motor control on the washer went bad. The Nexxt washer is the best washer I have ever had in terms of cleaning. The set in the...

As I recall, Maytag was late in the second rinse game. If I remember right, it was offered on the electronic control stacks in the mid to late 80's. It didn't hit the regular full sized/separate models until 1990. Even then it was only offered on the upper end models. It wasn't until the mid...

I used metal electrical boxes to keep the springs “expanded” You will have to push/pull the tub the opposite direction of the spring. You are basically getting the spring to stretch as far as possible then slide the electrical box in to keep it expanded. I fine it easier to do the 2 rear...

The speed cycle should use both arms at the same time with a strong running pump. Our 800 series does and you can hear it. Ours is running at this moment and I can hear it switch spray arms on "Auto".

Not sure what model Maytag you got but keeping those would be my vote. We have 2 Maytag washers and 1 dryer. They keep running and running.

IIRC I think the blue/white tub started as a small/large capacity thing. If I am correct, the whole blue/white tub thing changed from capacity to speeds? Meaning 1sp was blue, and white was 2sp? As I recall, the blue tub disappeared in the late 80's or with the "1990 automatics".

Reply #8 The electronic dry seems to do a nice job. 95% of the loads I dry come out perfect. As with most dryers, the only exception is heavy and dense items like bath rugs that may need a little extra time.
