    I got the Maytag A23CM, but it has issues

    I don’t see why the bearing on the transmission would be at fault as it washes fine just doesn’t spin, but then again I have no experience with these machines.

    I got the Maytag A23CM, but it has issues

    The seller said that the drum locked up and wouldn’t spin, so he got the repairman to have a look at it but the repairman clearly never worked on a Maytag(also managed to ruin the tub ring clamp, but it might be ok I haven’t had a good look at it yet). He thought the tub bearing was the issue...

    Post your interesting Maytag washer stories here

    I have one, My uncles relative or friend (can’t remember) had a Maytag dependable care washer that he bought new in the 90s It worked perfectly for 9 years but then the transmission quit on them, so they called the repairman and as it turns out they forgot to put oil in it from the factory!

    Maytag lat9800

    Going to pick it up this weekend along with a A23CM Maytag. I am going to get it, the seller is also selling a 60s whirlpool gas dryer but I already have 3 dryers so I don’t need anymore. I will keep it stock as I like the orbital transmission, it’s just that they are really common. The...

    Maytag lat9800

    I’ve had the a9400 and loved it, it needed new belts so I got them, but a few months later the tub bearing Completely failed, I’m not talking about leaking I mean the inner tub would wobble but the outer tub wouldn’t. More photos:

    Maytag lat9800

    Hello, I have the opportunity to get this Maytag for $30, it doesn’t have the pitman transmission like I wanted but it is TOL (for Australia anyways), or should I wait longer until a lower end pitman transmission machine comes up?

    Whirlpool washer not spinning or draining and I'd love to try to get it working!

    Check to see if the wig wag is working if one the solenoids isn’t working that will be your issue, otherwise I don’t know, I don’t have any experience with these machines whatsoever Photo of wig wags:

    Late 90s-early 2000s Simpson with suds return

    I saw this on FB marketplace and was amazed to see that it had suds return, I’d say this is really rare, I have never seen one of these before. My Gran has the model below this and it’s still working to this day! https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1058813271337646

    Electrical Questions Regarding Multiple Machines

    I agree with potato chips, Get a 3rd breaker (1 for both maytags and 2 for the Kenmores). I run all of my machines off of one breaker and can run one 9 amp dryer and a few washers, I have a 15 amp 240v breaker. 20amp is low for 110/120v.

    Simpson easydry not switching to cool-down

    Need a new element and heater tab things. No one sells the tabs, I just need to stick it out and find another dryer (that will be 4 Simpson dryers I will have!)

    Simpson easydry not switching to cool-down

    Update The fan belt was glued together but snapped when I wasn’t paying attention to the dryer I came to the dryer still running but without the fan also was a weird smell in the air and the ammeter was reading 19 amps! so I shut it off and took it apart to remove the element, I turned the...

    Simpson easydry not switching to cool-down

    Hello, I said in another thread about this dryer but it’s not switching to cool-down, when I hit cool it just turns off the element and motor but the ON light stays on. There is a separate control board with only 2 components, wonder if that’s the issue?

    I think the element staying on when it ended it’s cycle as t actually happening, because I let it run for 20s and then turned it off and pulled the plug and when I was pulling it apart the whole machine was hot to the touch. But not having a cool-down/air dry cycle is an issue. I will take the...

    May not have been clear I meant the heating element shield also the cooling globe is the light that indicates if it’s on cooling heating or if it’s on. I am going to buy one of those watt meters. I might have a go at pulling it apart today otherwise it will have to wait

    Thanks gizmo. These Simpson dryers are the only dryers I have worked on, I agree that the drum belts are a pain to get on. But accessing the timer is ver annoying and getting the back panel out of the way is annoying to do without a photo. Never worked on any Hoover dryer, but I doubt they are...

    There was no lint filter, don’t have any spares for this model. Just a question, how do I remove the circuit board on this machine as it’s not switching to cool-down and the element is staying on.

    Another issue I’ve found is that the dryer doesn’t switch to cool-down and just turns on the buzzer and then ends the cycle, also doesn’t seem to switch off the element or that could just be me.
