the disturbing noise ruining the vibe Say what? The "noise" from a vintage TL Maytag washer IS the vibe.. Personally, I prefer to hear the appliances, boiler, circulator pumps and such running in the house. If there is a problem I can tell right away if something doesn't sound right.

I have hoarded more light bulbs I just loaded up on some more three-way incandescents at an estate sale last week. Hate LED bulbs, even the best of them have a sick color temperature. Outdoors light pollution is increasing problem now, people have their properties lit up like a night game at...

doing contemporary gut job reno Ever see women shopping for homes these days? They've got the sledge hammers ready to go if even color schemes aren't the latest shade of gray.

here are some pictures Peww, those DD tubs can really get crudded up for some reason.

concrete balance weight Dryer also has a concrete counter balance as I recall.

limited capacity is a bummer. The cycles are fast and the ramped agitator can turn over big loads. If the price is right I'd grab them and ask questions later. Good condition GE FF sets don't come along too often these days and you could always resell them if you change your mind. I have...

It's the 2nd oldest 806 known on this site My first Maytag was (is) a 1966 A806, have to get the numbers, I think its an early model. I didn't know much about vintage Maytags other than their reputation for reliability and I was looking for a daily driver. So jump on Craigslist and there is...

It has the 8 finned agitator… Wow, that A806 console looks almost brandy new; Very little wear or yellowing on the push buttons and dial, paint looks good too. Tub and agitator are clean as well. Definitely a low mileage machine, should clean up nice. Automotive polishing compound and some...

I do unplug after use If you feel the need to unplug I'd install a 20A switch up stream of the receptacle. You're lucky this didn't start a fire IMO.

Most everything you read online comparing LED "to every other lighting technology is mendacious propaganda propped up by blatantly incorrect information". And climate change and EV's and wind farms and "net zero"...

Take off the front panel and have a look around.

it died of the Black death Those damper pads must have been bone dry or weren't glued well at the factory, or both. Hate sound like a broken record but vintage Maytag owners- lube those damper pads.

just put a 2000 Maytag washer on the scrap truck John, what was the cause of death on that 2000 MT washer?

passed away in a house explosion back in 2019. Oh, that sucks. Some of his posts were legendary, like this one: https://www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?38714 The site is not the same without him, redcarpetdrew and other super knowledgeable people with a sense of humor.

How to open the top starts at :41 The washer in that vid is a different design than your sister's LAT series Maytag. "Norge Tag" I believe they're called.

How to open the top starts at :41 Yeah I'm not watching that youtube vid and have to wade through their shitty commercials. Top opens like a car hood: Remove the two front panel screws and lift outward and upward from the bottom to release the top clips, then remove the screws at the front...

that's leaky and stinky. While you're in there replacing the valve that machine looks like it needs a good cleaning inside and out. The later models with the redesigned plastic tub cover get crudded up more easily. I'd take the front panel off and lift the top and give the tub a good...

the smell I'm getting some citric acid. Try bleach and hot water wash first. The smell is likely mildew and other crud probably from cold water washes, not enough detergent or bleach. Citric acid is good for hard water deposits
