    KitchenAid KD12 Dishwasher

    I had one, but it had motor/pump issues so I parted it out. I still have the racks which are in good condition and some various other "parts" that I saved. If you find a machine that needs some parts let me know.

    1970 Kenmore 700 Series?

    I think this was a "60" machine. From the 1970 Sping/Summer Catalog:

    DE 806 won't shutoff

    From the symptoms you are describing, I really think that the problem here was/is in the switch OR the linkage. That it worked properly after you opened the console might mean that things were just a BIT off and the poking around got things back to normal? If the chime is dinging at the right...

    DE 806 won't shutoff

    Most likely the link between the shut-off solenoid and the selector switch has broken or fallen off. It is the piece indicated as 3-12260 in the photo below.

    Maytag Wringers... All You Need to Know!

    I have a lot of questions as some of your information is just wrong. 1. Buy whatever model you want. Every model has its plusses and minuses. The E was likely the most popular and always the most expensive in the Maytag wringer line-up. 2. The cast tub was abandoned in about 1950 for the...

    Were those doors made for the coin-op SOH dryers?

    Maytag A612 No Spray Rinse during Slow Spin

    What do you mean by the "Delicate" Cycle? This machine only has 2 cycles: 1. Regular (no cool down before first spin) 2. Permanent Press (cool down before spin)

    New to Us Beautiful Maytag LA612 and LDE412 Manuals Needed!

    My wife and I were hoping that somebody on this forum has a copy of the owners manuals for both machines ( most importantly the washer). >I have the owner's manual for the D412. I also have the owner's manual for the A312 washer which is identical in terms of features and cycles, it just has...

    Comparison of A412 and Maytag Dependable Care

    For the most part kingfishg6, yes. The 12-series machines were produced from mid-1984 until mid-1990. Late in that run (1989) the long-stroke pitman transmission was replaced with the short-strike orbital transmission. After that change, the only really significant change made to Maytag...

    P7 Sensi Temp Conversion Question

    If you want help with this I may be able to help you. I have not tracked down your exact model number, but IF you are confident in your electrical abilities (including how to read a schematic) this problem may be able to be solved with minimal drama.

    Maytag washer Model A207 1972~

    The original part number for that timer is 204454. Both Mallory and Kingston made timers for this model. Here's one on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/MAYTAG-WASHER-TIMER-204454-NEW-/121703806762?hash=item1c561cb72a and another...

    Maytag Water Saver Washer Anyone?

    Maytag made suds-savers until about the year 2000.

    What is it worth? Where to sell?

    That's an original KD-10. They were manufactured from April of 1949 to April of 1955. Without the racks it's not really worth much to anyone unless they happen to be looking for certain parts from it. I don't know how rare the stainless steel panels are. They might be worth something to...

    Maytag bleach dispenser on 1979 A806

    Just as an FYI, the "timed" dilution dispenser was omitted beginning with March 1975 production of the A806.

    Maytag bleach dispenser on 1979 A806

    It's pretty much just a funnel and a hose by that point. That said, the "timed" beach dispensers of early Maytags really only delayed the introduction of the bleach by a couple of minutes after the wash cycle started. Kenmore was the company that really got the delayed beach dispenser right but...

    Maytag A606 sometimes doesn't spin without help

    Maytag washers do not have a spin clutch, per se. They have a special drive belt that is designed to slip during the spin cycle and this provides the necessary clutch action. One thing not mentioned above that can also be an issue is motor carriage springs that, over the years, have given up...

    1971 Maytag DE806

    While this is "theoretically" true, there is in fact no sensor or thermostat that guarantees this. The PP setting simply uses a different circuit path with additional resistors in it which causes the capacitor to charge more slowly, thus a longer run time. If you remove the drum baffle circuit...

    1971 Maytag DE806

    Actually ALL Halo of Heat dryers offered after 1966 only had one temperature, which, if I recall correctly, was about 150 degrees. The electronic dryness control should, in theory, work correctly when the dryer is connected to only 120 volts. I operated one that way for a few weeks a while back...
