I wonder where you find your upgraded days?

My Maytag 511 has hot, warm, cold wash temps. All rinses are cold, unless you set the timer back to wash to fill. In the middle of winter, my well water is frigid cold, so I might set it back to use warm on rinse.

Lisa Douglass had a pink one on Green Acres, although I never seen her using it. Only the Haney metal drum powered by an old outboard motor that flung clothes all over the kitchen.

I had one of the LK all push button Freedom Makers, bought from Sears from the Appliance manager, family friend, for $100 from a repo, Worked perfect for many years until the door panel screws dug a hole into the liner and basically ruined it.

I like my Maytags cycles, Normal, Delicate, Permanent press and thats it. None of that foolish labeling of sturdy, etc.

I still have the #16 grill on my garage service door. Only $2.50, wow.

I still have the old copper lines to my house and my calls pass thru 3 more switching stations before going to the main one about 12 miles away. I did have to have them come in and replace my modem the first of the year and the tech said they will be replacing all the lines to fiber in the near...

Yes, I have several, some hooked up with the loud bell you can hear outside. You need a phone line to the house first, then a filter between the jack on the wall and the actual phone and it works and internet works when plugged directly , I used to work for the phone company and I hooked a lot...

We all know, Jerome, and are sick and tired of hearing your constant complaining about motors, pumps, sounds or smells. Enough of this foolishness.

Maytag started to go down after my 1984 Maytag 511 washer and 410 dryer were built and still going strong and run just like they came out of the box new. Those are REAL Maytags. The next generation of the fast stroke washers with funky looking panels had alot more problems and then they added...

Jerome, this thread is about DRYERS, NOT washers. Everyone knows your constant posts of how YOU want everything to be and how your way is the only way.

When I was a kid, my mother refused to let me wear "Dungarees". By high school, I bought my first pair of Levis. Now, 60ish years later I still wear them and have a pair on right now.

I had the same model and it did have a filter=flo. One speed and one cycle, fill to the top with hot, warm on the wash time. But it had the indents where a coin box could go. Decent washer, but tub size was way too small. I jumped the water inlet to stay on warm and temp could be set by the faucets.

A neighbor had a very similar looking stove but the left side was a gas kitchen heater with vent holes on the left side and a vent pipe that went to a chimney.
