It's a "Norgetag" The Norge and Amana based Maytag machines have nothing in common except a similar transmission (Maytag designed a new one for the Norgetag and later adapted it for the Amana). To confuse things even more in the last years they adapted the Norge cabinet, top, and control panel...

Thanks RCD for pointing that out. As many of these that I have replaced through the years I can honestly say I never noticed the difference in the output angle. I have both on my van and just use the one that it calls for. Didn't the 35-6780 also have a metal base plate originally ?

I also find them to be interchangable. Maytag/ Whirlpool must not because they make both and every model specifies a certain one. Otherwise they would sub to only one. Your model calls for the 35-6465. The 35-6780 was the later version and may be a higher volume pump. I should know but I just...

that's interesting I have never run into one with the pilot

I don't know - I could fill a room with all the failed "little ECM motors that consume 5 watts and run completely cool" that I have changed in the last 10 + years. The evap motor in my 2005 Maytag bottom freezer made it a whole 10 months before it stopped. Lost a lot of food so I'm happy to pay...

I liked the old whirlpool kenmore dryers with the infinite adjustable mechanical thermostats. I can remember the days of stocking one on my truck but they didn't fail too often. Anyone have the kenmore dryer that was all electronic control but looked just like an ordinary chrome center dail...

A482 is a white machine and LA482 is almond.

The models before the 97 line still had the same basic panel shape that went all the way back to the first non center dail machines in 1980. IIRC most of the model numbers ended in 4's like LAT9334AAE and they all switched to 6's on the 97 line. The 9 at the beginning of the number signified it...

I can tell you that the corkscrew (LoadSensor) agitator started in the fall of 1996 on what was at the time called the Dependable Care 97 line in the sales literature. This was also the intro to the new more slanted panel that remained all the way to the end of the line. The machine front was...

Whirlpool Washer Love the Whirlpool washer. My grandmother had the exact same one and I have never seen another until this one. It was from about 1974 ? to 1990 when it was replaced with a Maytag. Noisiest Whirlpool I have ever heard. I heard that there where some bad motors that made a...

who built the LK wringers ? None other than Whirlpool! The gearcase has a similar shape as a belt drive automatic except it's not. It was direct drive. In good working order the machine was silent except when pumping. I had two through the years. A regular non Lady model (no chrome, single...

Just a few thoughts from my experience I also have been in the appliance sevice business for 20 plus years and agree with RCD that all brands had strengths and weaknesses. For about 11 of those years I sold Maytag appliances. I sold many Depedable Care washers, Performa, Atlantis, Neptune and...

New models # MVWC200XW & MVWC400XW They are on Best Buy's website. You can also see the Whirlpool Version WTW4800XQ. What exactly does VMW stand for ?

I was in Lowes earlier today and noticed the direct drive Maytag models are gone. They have 2 new models that look almost the same as the direct drive Centenial machines. Same control panel, knobs and cabinet except what used to be the timer is now a selector dail and has 5 or 6 status lights...

It's actually common practice to change the line set when replacing an entire system. At least around here. And it is never a really good idea to change only the outside unit. Although adding a TXV (expantion valve) will generally adapt the coil to the new outside unit you usually will not...

Can anyone shed any light as far as how these new machines operate in comparison to the O/C/B machines. The tub and wash plate look almost the same. The mechanism is certaintly different. It looks like some sort of gearbox ? And there is no recirculating pump. Thanks, Ed

1966 variable speed 900 I find this to be the most interesting. Looks like separate controls for agitate and spin. I wonder how this was done with 1966 technology. Has anyone ever seen one ? With the high price they probably sold so few or maybe they had a lot of problems and are all long gone.

Everything SxS I see in the stores around here lately is all Whirlpool design. Even the Amana product. So I'm guessing the Amana design is on it's way out. The Whirlpool design is pretty good i just don't like the look as much with the big grill on the bottom and the water filter access in the...

One of my favorite Kenmores designs ! Anyone know where this fit in the line ? I'm pretty sure it's from the 1972 or so era. So the 800 was in the line at this time. Was this one below or above the 800 ? It has all the features but uses the alphabet design/ no think temp selection system like...

Whirlpool / Kenmore washers have had timers that turn in both directions for at least 10 years. But it was limited to certain models in the early years. Super wash does dump the water before the regular wash. It may only be a partial amount. I can't remember. I always thought it strange how...
