They aren't touching, they are just very close. My husband is super particular about gaps like that.

I have a 1976 Maytag A806 and DE808 set that are daily drivers. I bought them about 8 years ago or so from an old lady in Anderson, Indiana. She felt bad that I drove that far to get them and couldn't understand why I wanted such an old set. She discounted the price from $150 to $100. LOL! I...

Thank you! :)

I like the way that fits. Would you mind sharing the brand and where you got it? Thanks!

I think that's an attention grabber pic. I highly doubt they are selling those exact units for $449 each.

I found this very interesting to watch! Thank you for posting the videos. :)

First of all, welcome to the forum!!! I think you will love being here and will be amazed at the wealth of knowledge. I must also commend you on at least considering keeping your old set; that's more than most seem to do nowadays. Definitely keep the Maytag! I have a 1976 A806/DE808 set and...

Anyone else notice there is a typo at the bottom of the first page? They misspell Spiralator in bold print. LOL

I cut about 18" of drain hose off and made sure only about 7" was in the drain pipe. I zip tied it to the water line to make sure it stays in the center of the drain, and so far it's been working perfectly. Thanks everyone for your help!!

You know, I haven't thought about siphon action. Thank you for mentioning that. I did move recently and the water connections/drain area is a bit lower here than it was at the other house, however it doesn't seem excessively low. I pulled the hose out of the drain and found that it ran several...

My 806 has developed an issue where it will drain out during filling, which causes it to keep filling forever. There are no leaks; it is draining back through the pump and out the drain hose. This happens intermittently. It will run 10-15 loads fine, then the draining issue will happen once or...

I would be very interested in this. I need an new top assembly for my original transmission. Please add me to the list!

I didn't think about changing the length of the bulbs to better fill out the consoles. That's a great idea.

LOL!! I love the danger element comment. I returned the incorrect trans and got the correct replacement. The machine is already back together now. I do want to eventually rebuild my old trans, but the agitator shaft is in bad shape. I really need a replacement top half to ever reuse this...

I have a hard time letting go of the lint filter, though. That was why I picked the other agitator over the Load Sensor one. The lint filter in that agitator still works well for me even with the shorter stroke trans. I'll buy a Load Sensor agitator to try though, too, since everyone likes it...

Yep, I was able to return it, no harm no foul. Douglas, I never found an agitator. I apologize for not seeing this post earlier. I guess I overlooked it. I sent you an email to coordinate buying yours. Thanks for offering it!!

Thank you for the compliments! I bought them from New York LED Luminaries. They don't have part numbers on their site per se, they go by what you are trying to retrofit. The washer takes a F15T8 fluorescent and the dryer takes a F20T12...

Yes, the agitator I used is the one in Dan's post. My apologies, Douglas, for not seeing your replies. I will send you an email for more info on your agitator. Thanks!

I have been wanting to retrofit my Maytag consoles with LED lights for some time, but didn't want to do any wiring mods. I finally found what I was looking for! New York LED Luminaries sells LED bulbs that will fit in our Maytags with absolutely no modifications. They work with the original...

I just did this same thing to my 806. I have been thrilled with it so far. I didn't use the load sensor agitator, I used the other one with the lint filter and more "fins." The only thing I don't like is opening the washer and seeing a white agitator. It doesn't look right; it should be...
