I have the same machine and the same problem. I'd love to know if anyone here knows of a better way to clean it other than soaking and toothbrushing..!

Go Countryford!

Beautiful job. Thanks for sharing!

I just picked up another mid-80s Maytag the other day and to my horror it began banging loudly during the spin cycle. The guy I bought it from said he had disconnected the lid switch but he apparently forgot to remove the switch. When I opened up the machine to find out what all the banging...

My sentiments exactly! I applaud all of you and your awesome comments.

Ben, I'm absolutely speechless. Awesome find and thanks for posting pics! Todd

Congratulations! What a great find! As regards the drain hose, you can pick up a new one that has an adjustable fitting at any hardware store. Good luck and looking forward to seeing more pics/vids!

Such beautiful machines! Congrats on another great find and hoping you can get the early 70s GE set!

Thanks for sharing and glad you made it back home safely!

So that's why I've been getting those fake USPS delivery emails lately..! Regardless, I applaud Robert's hard work and dedication to this site and am happy he arranged for it to carry on. Congrats again on retirement!

Congratulations on your retirement and am happy you will still be present on the site. Cheers! Todd

Thanks for posting, Leon! You scored a lot of cool treasures!!

Cory, many thanks for the wonderful film! Even my husband (who is not an appliance fan) really enjoyed it!

Having had a few of these machines myself, I found the vinegar treatment works well and even scrubbing both sides of the filter with a stiff brush helps dislodge the gunk as well... And thanks for posting the video. I really miss those machines!

Awesome job and thank you for the video!
