    Maytag A806 in need of a good home

    too far California? Bummer. I may be in the market for a replacement Maytag of similar vintage, but we're in Vermont. So sad - hope it finds a happy home!

    Maytag A502 Washer and Matching Drier

    Cobleskill is also MY mother's hometown! There used to be a great Main street with a true 5 and dime. Many great summer memories of going to the state fair, and falling asleep at grandma's to the sound of the trains going over the trestle bridge nearby.

    Maytag A408 putting ick on my clothes - help please!

    Maytag A408 putting ick on my clothes - help please!

    update on this afternoon's labor So I got #1 and #3 done on my list (above) but I'm finding the original problems still exist. I ran a cycle of hot water and bleach (to wash out any mold possibility on the outside of the inner tub) and then did a load of whites. Hubby's tighty whiteys got the...

    Vintage Maytag A407 timer seized?

    I had the exact same problem with my A408 a few years ago, so I opted to replace the timer rather than repair it. It's easy if you keep your wits about you and keep track of the original wiring. I took a photo before I pulled off all the spades from the tabs. It's been working great ever since.

    Another Delusional Seller...

    Maytag A408 putting ick on my clothes - help please!

    picture, please Can anyone link to a diagram that shows me what the pump's impeller looks like? I read repair advice that said to stick a finger in it to make sure nothing was plugging it up.

    Maytag A408 putting ick on my clothes - help please!

    We have a Maytag large capacity Dependable Care washer/dryer pair (in beautiful avocado) that was included with our house when we bought it in 2002. As there doesn't seem to be any repair people willing to work on these old workhorses in our area, I've been doing it myself. There are two issues...
