Reply #56 Think this is the 3/4 NPT https://www.amazon.com/Thermostatic-Mixing-Valve-Temperature-Galvanized/dp/B0D8HRTKR5/ref=sr_1_8?crid=30U92L5BOOYZH&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.iHSNOu7Nz83dN8-QM2Dw_yFhu8pAlYCkw7FUCRbqd1k9H936PAhM2TIHrn8QOu5KYFLI5_S5OzSIo2vTBb5omNFxcApY0ZTO7IHmNx-AKbGbQ1AwtzqZUuPec0

Question for qsd-dan Dan, will this twmporing valve work? Found this awhile back on Amazon...

“There’s no way you’ll EVER see a commercial washer with plastic gears with the exception of Maytag” The Maytag orbital machines had all plastic gears inside the transmission, the transmission was identical to residential models, some with the Whirlpool direct drive coin op machines. You...

Reply #1 I assume it was a Maytag HOH model.

Jerome, why do you keep on dwelling on the same thing over and over? You can’t seem to put certain things to rest. You seem hell-bent on GE, but in my book, GE never seemed to ‘get it’ in the laundry appliance department. Their Filter Flo washers had a transmission that held two quarts of oil...

“The brain drain in the USA is real” I think a common sense drain is more accurate.

Jerome, if you really want to know what has to do with the reliability of a washer, it’s the tub seals and hoses, timer, outer tub. I’ve been through my Whirlpool countless times and have seen it all, John has as well. Even though me a John disagree heavily on a majority of things, I’ll side...

Reply #146 Even when sitting there idle, today’s appliances still pull power and sure it may not be much, but adds up quickly over time.

I always loosely load my Maytags, never had anything damaged before. Always use the slower agitation with smaller and medium loads, reduces wear and tear on clothing not to mention the machine itself, also used a little less electricity. People will debate until the end of time long stroke vs...

Sounds like the spring inside the transmission is either broken or weak. May have to acquire a donor transmission to correct that issue, or the parts from one. Fairly easy to repair, just a little time consuming. Definitely will be worth it, though.

Hi Pat, not necessarily done with collecting, just want to make room for acquisitions and restorations in the future. For sure going to keep my Maytag A806 and DE806 set, along with the Whirlpool set, my Kenmore portables, but am thinking about selling the Maytag A606 set, for sure the A810 set.

While it’s on my mind, might as well create this thread as a ‘bookmark’ if you will. Awhile back, I mentioned about selling my Maytag A810 set since it’s basically a duplicate of my Maytag A806 set, Melvin seemed to express interest from what I remember. Anyways, I’ll clean up the Maytag A810...

Reply #30 Don’t know if you saw, but sent you a email awhile back.

Honestly, Westinghouse essentially ended themselves and ruined their own reputation. Westinghouse in their infinite wisdom put the pump on top of the motor, if the pump developed a leak, it would take the motor out with it which is what took these machines out of service. There’s easily more...

Whirlpool reliability be like:

To add insult to injury, the people who buy them don’t really care either. Then precede to complain on why they don’t build anything with quality anymore, just repeats itself over and over again.

Whirlpool is only the best when one is opinionated or biased towards a particular company and or product. Whirlpool is clearly ran by con artists, not by people who care anymore.

“Were much harder to remove and repair than the direct drive transmissions” Since I’ve removed and installed mine quite a few times, it’s not all that bad. Even rebuilt the transmission about 4 years ago, was fairly straightforward. My Whirlpool according to Strictlybojack who I bought the...

Crazy as this sounds, I’m probably the only one or very few people in my age demographic who has more experience with the belt drives than I do with the direct drives despite growing up with them back in the 2000’s. While the belt drives aren’t entirely perfect, at least they don’t have...

Since I took mine apart last year, there’s 3 suspension rods with a rubber ball at each end (6 in total), there’s a snubber which puts pressure on the tub ring to create some resistance so it can’t move around as easily in either agitate or spin. Without the snubber, it would go off balance...
