A 3 day vinegar bath should fix that right up.

Get a vintage Maytag with a solid 1 minute spray rinse, problem solved. It also won't go out of balance 9 times washing throw blankets and sheets ;)

KA408S? Yep, 1975-1976.

Hobart should have never signed off on that commercial and fired the advertising department. They should have focused on design and why it was superior product to a good percentage of dishwashers from other manufactures of the day.

First Electronic Controlled Dryer on the Planet Thanks Cory! Anybody catch the flawed image/design in the clip?

Toploader55 Damn, I really miss that guy. RIP Ed

Great job on the reproduction. Hopefully tech will come around make the repro process much simpler and quicker than the labor intensive molding process. It would be nice to "print" one of these in a few minutes after a quick scan.

The link doesn't work but you're probably referring to Lee Maxwell and his collection.

"Set the speed after starting, do not move the lever when the machine isn't running." What carnage happens if it's speed shifted when off?

So, is this cycle a waste of time and energy? No, the hot water still kills off a bunch of stuff that would otherwise survive in cooler temperatures. 160F water temps does a good job at sanitizing.

Water cools significantly while it's draining and exhausting out cold unheated surfaces. You need to use a an IR gun pointed at the sump after VERY quickly flipping the door open and pulling the lower rack forward.

It was a military base set, That translates to severe abuse. Look elsewhere.

Jack Welch had a degree in engineering. All of the junk appliance designs made in the last 30 years were also designed by engineers being micromanaged by bean counters. The days of making the best possible design 100% backed by engineers with full control and beaming pride ended by WWII. Today...

"It's odd the previous owner didn't get a refund, or a warranty repair." Probably got the never ending run around which is typical with ALL big box stores manufactures these days, especially Whirlpool. Everybody is quick to take your money but not fix or replace a legitimate problem.

I don't think I'd run a front loader in a cabin that doesn't see much use. Too many areas to mold, especially when sitting for long periods. I'd get something older that has a mechanical timer and not a control board or boards.

3 loads today. Bedding - hot (160F), cold load (87F), and a warm load (120F) in that order.

TOL That would be an 806, there was never an 808 washer. WW = October, 1975.

Reply#16 Its a Maytag A712 washer, TOL for its time. Made with the pitman transmission from 1984-June 1989. The lower o-ring seal was replaced with the lip seal beginning in June, 1986. The orbital transmission was installed in July, 1989 until its production end in 1990. The matching TOL dryer...
