And if you don't want to say which state you live in, perhaps you could put it in Chet terms by saying if you get your electricity from the Eastern Interconnection, Western interconnection or one of the others 🙂

Chet, what area of the country are you in?

Steven, thanks so much for documenting this and making the video.  I might just have to do this to my 1974 LK 2-speed washer!

Thank you, John.  Right...that settles it then -- I'll take Melvin's and John's advice and use it and enjoy it just the way it is.  I'll apply something around the rusty areas without attempting to remove the inner basket.     The dryer does not appear to have the flip over feature.   Once...

What a great find!  I'm looking forward to the videos once you have the seal problem fixed.  Good luck and congratulations!

Thanks, Todd! Amazing to think that there’s only 20 years between this set and the 1974 LK set you gave me. Thanks, Pat! Yes I’m a sucker for bells and whistles. And this set certainly delivers in that respect — so flexible and so many options. You can even do a pre-soak at any temp/speed...

Now, here's the big question: what should I do about maintaining them?  I subscribe to the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" philosophy and I don't want to do more harm than good by needlessly delving deep into it.  But I do want to do any maintenance that is recommended.    Possible options...

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">This is my first direct drive washer, so I'm not at all familiar with them.  Upon closer inspection, there could be trouble brewing:</span>   <ul> <li>What do you guys make of the condition of the agitator shaft and seal area?  The basket is rusted to the drive...

Hi guys I'm delighted to have recently saved this Kenmore Electronic 90 Series set that I discovered at an estate sale in a place called Anza, California. Just a short, 75-minute drive from Palm Springs but it felt like I'd entered another world, driving through the twisty mountainous roads...

Hope you had a great time, Paul. It looks like both Nathan and Leon have added a few more goodies to their impressive collections since I was last in Brisbane. Hopefully I'll get the opportunity to visit again! Enjoy the rest of your trip!

Thanks for the explanations and wiring diagram. Good to know that my machine is working as intended. I can't imagine that Maytag would remove the ability to choose a slow spin on PP based on any fabric care considerations. Quite the opposite in fact. I would tend to think along the lines of...

Wow that set looks great and fits perfectly in your space! It's so "Knight Rider" digital black!

What do you guys think of this: I've noticed that my A806 always does a fast spin on the PP cycle regardless of whether you select fast or slow spin. But on the regular cycle you can choose the spin speed. I don't know if this is because someone has changed something or if there is a fault...

The washing machines I grew up with in the UK were not capable of washing at less than 40 ℃ (104 ℉). They would always heat the water to this temperature if it was not already at that temperature. So there was no way to wash wool any cooler than that. Also, all the machines I grew up with...

I've read that wool is extremely sensitive to mechanical action when wet, so you should severely limit agitation to avoid felting. But it's not particularly heat sensitive and can be washed in warm water with no problem. A mild detergent should be used that does not contain enzymes. Dry flat...

Thanks, Dave. I think I get it now. You wanted to do a cycle with a warm wash and a warm rinse but your machine didn't have a warm/warm option. So you started off by selecting warm/cold so that it would fill with warm water for the wash. Then you selected hot/warm so that it would do a warm...

Reply #10 I have read Dave's last post a couple of times and I can make neither heads nor tails of it 🤷‍♂️ Would you mind clarifying those temperature combinations and what you were doing please, Dave?

Dave, I think that John meant that he doesn't see a point in doing a warm rinse, except with wool. I don't think he meant that he doesn't see a point in discussing it! The only time I ever select a warm rinse (which is not very often) is only for the spray rinse when I want the spray rinse to...
