need a separate holding tank A laundry sink would suffice to hold the wash water. The idea isn't long term storage but reusing the wash water if doing multiple loads at a time.

maintenance man for two U of I dorms, U of I ? They probably think they're saving the planet by washing in cold water.

gas valve, Possible but pretty unlikely I never got confirmation that it was in fact the gas valve, that was just what the homeowner mentioned. Pretty scary situation whatever the cause. The dryer was running, the house had a strong odor of gas and their two dogs were right next to the...

"I stopped going to Walmart" I can only take the local Walmart for about 15-20 minutes at a time before an feeling oppressive need to get heck out of there ASAP. Not the type of place one wants to take their time roaming the aisles. Just a general unpleasant shopping experience for a lot of...

looking for specifically when I get it off? If the agitator comes off without a battle put some silicone grease or vaseline on the splines/ stop ring and breath a sigh of relief. Sometime the agitators on older models with the stop ring are stuck tight.

and get to know em better. Did you try removing the agitator? Should pull straight up, hopefully without a major battle.

Wow Nice score. Maytag shaded coppertone set in excellent condition are rare as hens teeth these days.

Went to a customer of ours today, an appliance tech had their four year old Electrolux gas dryer disassembled. She told me they left the house with the dryer running, when they came back the dryer was still running and the house reeked of gas. The tech said it was the gas valve. How is...

what parts would you recommend for a direct drive You'll have to ask the DD experts on that one. I'm more familiar with vintage Maytags and have a stash of the common and not so common replacement parts and spares. Many (but not all) can still be found for sale today but not at the bargain...

Too numerous to mention How many items have been discontinued the last few years, not just appliance parts. The latest for me is the J&J contact lenses I've been using for over a decade. (At least they gave a warning on that one) My advice if that happens is to stockpile items you will...

Here an A712 donor machine for parts, only $15. The catch is its in the Bronx.. https://newyork.craigslist.org/brx/app/d/bronx-maytag-washing-machine-parts/7539697903.html

I used citric acid I've never used citric acid but I have used diluted muriatic acid to remove stubborn hard water deposits. The trick is to wet down one area at time with saturated paper towel or rag only long enough to remove deposits then quickly flush throughly with water. No soaking or...

which oil to use in it. I would use the genuine Maytag oil. If that can't be found use Sta-Lube 85-90w GL-4 gear oil.

Would this work with that setup? No, the Hose Grip slips onto a 1-1/2 or 2 inch pipe. In your case the zip ties should be enough and allow for proper venting.

just trying to give this washer/parts a good home Throw it on Craigslist for $50 or so. Someone in your area may be interested. Don't list it for free or put it to the curb, scrappers will grab it for sure and it will end up as recycled beer cans.

and secured it in place with gorilla tape. How about one these instead of the half-assed gorilla tape and zip ties: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Fernco-2-in-x-2-in-x-2-00-in-dia-Hose-Grip-Hose-Grip-PVC-Fitting/1000075223

Agitator alone Could fetch $40-50 on ebay. Don't be in such a hurry to scrap it.

$475.00 was a considerable amount back then, With the ice maker $4810 adjusted for inflation to be exact.

I'm really pissed about not being able to use my LG flip phone in a few months, years of rock solid reliability, palm size, one hand operation just by feel of the keypad. The pinnacle of flip phones IMO. I would be okay with a smart phone if it wasn't a surveillance device that also makes...

and just gives another reason not to "upgrade". We are going to be forced to "upgrade" out cell phones before the end of the year. Verizon is shutting off 3G service and I won't be able to use my excellent LG flip phone anymore. Any suggestions for basic phones? All the Verizon offerings...
