Thanks Hippie & Barco I'm grateful for your well wishes. 'Cause I got it! It's in rough shape though I have to say and although I don't have it home yet, it will be by the weekend. Seems to have the same issue as most of them do too-that poly belt used for the exhaust fan. I'll deal with that...

So it looks like I'll be scoring a new toy this week. I was cruising the local Craigslist ads, (which I don't do often, actually). And saw an ad listed for a "Maytag Portable Dryer". Thinking that there was only ever one type of "portable" "dryer" by "Maytag" I of course clicked on the link...

Great score!!! These are my favorite dishwashers of all time! I had this exact model in Victoria B.C.-portable and all. Bought it second hand in mint condition for $300.00. That was in 1996. That model would be from 1983 as I was told by Maytag at that time when I inquired. A real workhorse...

A Canadian Slap! Is much harder than you may think. But, I digress........... Hee Hee

The Canadian version is what I have of that machine. It's the "Simplicity" brand fashioned after the American made McGraw-Edison "Speed Queen" name. I have a few other machines as well though, and I can definitely attest that they are the BEST of the twinnies for design, operation and build...

Speed Queen's were incredible machines. I absolutely love those machines. I believe that between them and Maytag at the time were both the "best of the best" albeit in very different ways. The Maytags are softer and gentler and therefore also much quieter. The Speed Queens are rougher and much...

Great Find!!! Love those scores in older houses being renovated. You never know what might lie beneath all that dust and construction gear. I'm curious though, why are you afraid to run the thing? Especially letting it run an entire cycle to ensure that the timer, controls and valves etc. all...

Try soaking the lint filter in white vinegar. It's usually very effective at removing the sort of build-up on lint filters and fabric softener dispensers. It's cheap and environmentally friendly and if it doesn't work, then you can try the next step of using a chemical. After that, if you have...

Ogmdfxpogiertmsdfpoidfdggslktouertmnzv Ooops....sorry, my fingers haven't woken up yet from all that typing last night! ;) Glad to be of help to you. We AW.org'ers have to stick together and help each other out. I also know what it's like to be sitting there with your new "baby" but...

I hope this helps you..... From the Maytag Dishwasher Brochure (782L ADV) JN10/90 350 In addition, you can select from two new Deco-White(TM) models. These dishwashers feature all-white front panels and control panels for the ultimate in contemporary styling! Deco-White Model EWU1005: When...

Congrats! On such a beautiful find. It's in great condition. I think I have the sales brochure for that model actually, so I'll go and have a look for it later and double check that and I can find some info on it for you, possibly. You'll probably enjoy this machine if you are a KitchenPool...

Glad to hear that you are enjoying the Maytag and that it is performing better for you. As for the dispenser, I had an issue with one years ago and I just set a timer for when the main wash started and then would go and open it. That way, I wouldn't get distracted by anything and forget about...

Hi appnut! Nope. I use the Heavy Wash Cycle. It's less intense than the Soak & Scrub Cycle but a bit better than the Normal Wash Cycle as it has a Purge/Pre-Rinse and that helps a lot. The '19' as you probably know, has a total of 7 fills in the Heavy Wash Cycle. I'm not convinced that the...

Nothing, and I do mean absolutely NOTHING outperforms a Maytag RR dishwasher. The best filtration of it's time and the racking was not only very flexible, but still to this day, the most capacious dishwasher I have ever loaded. And that is odd considering it's amazingly large cutout section...

It's been a while since I posted. I have been really busy this Summer and not much time for playing on the net. That's including my much needed 'escape' to glorious Montreal for a week only to return to 22 solid days of a trade show at 12 hour days there and throwing my back out in the final...

Nice Machine! Looks like the MUCH coveted KDS-18. Just about the most popular KitchenAid model ever! And the Avocado Green is a refreshing colour to see this model in, although it would have interchangeable panels of course. Hopefully someone from here can help you out. But if not, it's a...

And may I ask? I noticed in the 4th pic, something I have seen before in pre 19 series models. There is one temperature sensor in the 18 series. On mine, the 19, there are two on opposite sides and configured differently although opposite to each other. What is the second one for in the 19...

Wonderful machine.... Defoedude! What a great score!!! As a very recent KA recipient myself, I can feel your joy in this 'new' acquirement. Although mine was also in nearly mint condition, I also have a similar issue with that strip that runs under the door. But it's pretty mild and I'm...

My 2 cents worth..... although I haven't used my twintubs for quite a while now, I'm planning to get back into it this very weekend. As I showed in my videos of the twin tubs in action, here's what I do to find that "middle-ground" of fresh vs. reused water. When I transfer the load to the...

No, that's not it at all. "I'm pretty sure the purpose of the grate is to keep the objects off the bottom of the spin basket so as not to block off the drain holes located there". You do not need to continue to worry about the drain holes at the bottom of the spin tub. The drain holes at the...
