@repairguy - I sure like that 1982 Limited Edition!! Fancy and a workhorse!

Thanks for your input.

My kid brother send me a text yesterday regarding their LG top loader. A washer enthusiast friend of fine tells me it may NOT be mold but rather a seal degrading. To anyone with a suggestion, it is much appreciated. Read on. Our LG washer has been leaving black mold deposits on our clothes...

info needed Do you have a serial number?

Congratulations! Congrats on your Maytag set!

Congratulations! Congrats on your find!!

Beautiful ! Awesome score for you young man! Love the avocado color! I have the 906 set in harvest gold. From what you state I wonder if the motor is overheating and kicking out. Check the carriage glide assembly. I was fortunate to get my set from a club member who had the timer rebuilt.

My Wringer Well.... one of them

It's attractive looking I was fooled for a minute. They got the styling right. 53 gallons of water! I liked all the color choices available on 2 of the models. Makes me wish I had a 1-18 to play with.

I bet it does not pause Does it continue to agitate through the pause following the wash phase? Something is preventing the run winding from dropping out. I'm thinking the timer. If you are near the machine and watch the timer advance from agitation to pause to spin (and it continues to agitate...

Maytag Gyrafoam action Gotta Love it! Perfect for sheets and towels.

Borax in dishwasher I use Borax in the laundry much of the time and all of the time with whites. I've thought about putting it in the dishwasher but was concerned about oversudsing. I will give it a try. Thank you Christina.

Congratulations! Beautiful machine! It's been a while since I've seen one of those in action. Keep us posted.

And the instruction manual! You have the soft cover in color to boot!!!!! So happy for you, Louis! (Nice find Martin)

Model number with a T My 2 cents: The final months of the "12" series that used the Orbital transmission had a "T" at the end of the model number. The model A512 became the A512T if it featured the orbital transmission.

Nice! Congrats on that beautiful machine. You will love it!!

What Tomturbomatic said... When I worked at Whirlpool decades ago, they had a clothes dryer suspended from a Spring Scale to do exactly what Tomturbomatic states above. If The Laundry Guy has his dryer hanging from a spring scale, I'd subscribe to Discovery+, otherwise I'll pass.
