I just picked up another mid-80s Maytag the other day and to my horror it began banging loudly during the spin cycle. The guy I bought it from said he had disconnected the lid switch but he apparently forgot to remove the switch. When I opened up the machine to find out what all the banging...

My sentiments exactly! I applaud all of you and your awesome comments.

Ben, I'm absolutely speechless. Awesome find and thanks for posting pics! Todd

Congratulations! What a great find! As regards the drain hose, you can pick up a new one that has an adjustable fitting at any hardware store. Good luck and looking forward to seeing more pics/vids!

Such beautiful machines! Congrats on another great find and hoping you can get the early 70s GE set!

Thanks for sharing and glad you made it back home safely!

So that's why I've been getting those fake USPS delivery emails lately..! Regardless, I applaud Robert's hard work and dedication to this site and am happy he arranged for it to carry on. Congrats again on retirement!

Congratulations on your retirement and am happy you will still be present on the site. Cheers! Todd

Thanks for posting, Leon! You scored a lot of cool treasures!!

Cory, many thanks for the wonderful film! Even my husband (who is not an appliance fan) really enjoyed it!

Having had a few of these machines myself, I found the vinegar treatment works well and even scrubbing both sides of the filter with a stiff brush helps dislodge the gunk as well... And thanks for posting the video. I really miss those machines!

Awesome job and thank you for the video!

Who woulda thunk Gladys and Betty were such good friends?! Robert, thanks for the laugh and extremely engaging/informative video.

Thank you for putting that video together. Quite enjoyable! And here I always thought Betty Furness was just a Westinghouse gal!

Mark, happy to see that you are still enjoying those LK's! So happy they landed in a good home and have been so lovingly restored more than where I got them to be. Next time I'm in SoCal (I don't get to Liverpool or Madrid very often!) would love to visit.

Very cool. Thanks for sharing!

Austin was amazing! I never met him in person but did reach out to him once when I was having trouble with my mid'70s WP washer. He was extremely kind and helpful and is dearly missed.

Glenn, thank you very much for sharing your videos! I always stayed away from any washers made after the mid-80s so thanks for the enlightenment! Cheers, Todd

Mark, I continue to be in awe of your finds! Nice addition to your collection.

How much water filled into that thing? Didn't look like enough to me. And I can't believe how much was stuffed into the machine. Not a fan of these new-fangled things but is/was it very effective?
