No heat dry was standard on all models in the 19 series. To facilitate better moisture removal, they beefed up the fan and airflow CFM's. It more than satisfies my expectations but there are some who will go into Ted Bundy mode finding a drop of water on a dish. Final Sani rinse went down from...

You'll have to run it with the lower panel and toe kick panel off. I suspect it's the motor shaft seals. When these start leaking, water makes its way down the motor shaft and into the bearings, taking them out. The bearings will be loud from this point on until they seize up and trip the...

Brakes are NLA and dried up. There was a new one on Ebay a couple of days ago for $400 and it was (surprisingly) purchased. Some may pop up from time to time but the days of just ordering one immediately are GONE. The brake tool used to go for $50-ish before discontinuation. I bought a couple...

150 pounds of true American steel and porcelain from Troy, OH. Mass x Acceleration = Force, watch your heads :LOL:

KDS-20 was the first dishwasher my family got to experience. Moved into a 1970 home in 1985 and installed in the kitchen was a fairly new KDS-20 along with a matching Kitchenaid disposer with the Wham-Jam feature. Both of them were nothing but a pleasure to use! I recognize most of the...

He asked for $2000.00 + to repair my range. Highway robbery, that's insane.

Well done! Is it normal to agitate and spin at the same time, at least during its ramp up to spin?

Agitators can nearly weld themselves to the drive block if they aren't periodically removed. A thin coat of Vaseline on the drive block helps the removal process later.

That will work (y)

Yep, 2 size tubs from 1956-2006 for the helical models. The 200 series are all standard capacity models. An external picture will be fine, the lid opening size is a dead giveaway.

Might be a late model one. Without a picture, it's impossible to decipher. The outer tub is still metal but the tub cover will be plastic. A dead giveaway is a bigger lid and lid opening. According to this diagram, it shows the older tub and tub cover...

Probably a once in a lifetime opportunity for members in that area.

Looks like the rubber motor isolators and wheel have pretty much deteriorated. You can probably fab something up, like using innertube material, and make it work again. Does it run and run smoothly? Not seeing a cord in the picture. I always take these apart, clean, turbine oil the...

Yep, this is the old style inner/outer tub and tub cover with the band style clamp and seal. They are both the large capacity model. The bleach dispenser will not work with it but you could run a longer hose across the tub and modify it to fit the newer bleach nipple if it's that important...

It's the brake squeaking every time the tub indexes, it's very apparent in the clips. Check the brake.

What's the problem with the brake? If it's making noise, it just needs a few tablespoons of oil. If the tub is indexing, that's kind of problem as the internal springs weakens with age. You may be able to shim the spring with washers to get some tension back. I have an NOS spring on hand and...

Welcome aboard, good to see those who got their hands dirty in the trenches back in the good old days post on the forum. You probably remember when my set was brand new on the showroom floor.

They were, having serious issues with control boards, pumps, motors, U-joints, and seals.

Welcome! I'm guessing you purchased a Model 32 if has an aluminum square tub. Check out the YouTube channel of BradRoss63, he's our resident Maytag wringer washer guru who has done some fabulously detailed restorations. https://www.youtube.com/@BradRoss63/videos

It will depend on your water hardness. I have a water softener so Level 3 on the detergent cup works great for the dirtiest of loads. Harder water will require more detergent but if you have used regular Tide powder in the past, I find the same amount works just as well if not better.
