for $50 it'd be a good project I wouldn't take the sellers word as gospel regarding what repairs may, or may not be, necessary. Also, aren't some He3 models known for premature boot failures, (happened to friend of mine on a 5 year old machine). If you do pull the trigger, I'd suggest...

I would get the Maytag hands down Any particular model Maytag dishwashers on the market to look for?

However, it's Phosphated Version, runs circles around it Unfortunately, Foca with phosphate is hard to find and will become more so as time goes on, unless you happen to come across some old stock.

"RedCarpetDrew" should be able to help, if you don't mind a trip to Reno, NV.

I can email you the service manual for this machine Can I get in that that deal too??

I'm all for running cars well beyond 100K however. However, rust on 7 year vehicle is bad news and body/paint work is expensive. On the other hand used car resale/trade-in values are very high these days. The smarter move may be trading up to a newer model while the car still has some value...

Okay will do-Thanks

Two weeks ago I grabbed a Maytag A712 and DG612 (gas) W/D set for free off Craigslist, one of the easiest scores I've made. Anyway, I was thinking I'd offer a friend the dryer to match her own A712. The dryer is in very good condition and aside from a through cleaning what service should be...

Agitator Shaft Kit: http://www.ebay.com/itm/MAYTAG-AGITATOR-SHAFT-KIT-22002132-6-2097820-/181119817439?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a2b9516df#ht_56wt_0 Rust holes in the tub are a more difficult fix but can be filled in with J-B Weld. Silicone RTV could work as well, but I can't see how...

maybe I should stick my finger in the socket That is a good idea, but first wet your finger, then grab onto a nearby water pipe with the other hand just to be extra sure..

I converted a 1976 GE gas dryer from LP to NG for a friend. The flame also licked up the back of the tube, I was concerned at first but 6 Months later no reported problems. Scorching on the back of the drum also seems common, I've seen it on electric and gas models, possibly from overloading...

recommendations regarding the tranny oil? After lots of research I ended using Sta-Lube GL-4 gear oil. It claims to be safe for bronze bearings and has anti-wear additives EP not found in Gl-1 lube. Maytag trans oil would work okay as well, plenty of machines ran decades with it. Problems...

How come we are still paying the same high prices? Because the dollar keeps losing its purchasing power via Federal Reserve inflation, although most people don't understand this. They see rising prices and mistakingly blame big oil companies, corporations, retailers, etc. According to the...

Forgot to mention, I think you can get access inside the control panel on that model by simply removing the console top cover and trim.

don't think a 1969 unit has a drum bearing The new style rear drum bearing replaces the older design and eliminates a spacer or two in the process. The older model numbers can be a problem when looking for parts. However, many of the common service parts are the same items used on later model...

Sometimes, if you're lucky, there will be factory literature inside the control panel with replacement part numbers and other useful info. The control panel on that model should come off from the front and the whole console lifts out as one unit. Naturally, remember to unplug the machine and...

When dealing with the elderly the simplest of matters can become very complicated.

If you complain load enough they will take it back. I agree, sounds like a case of elder abuse in fact. I would call, or even better go in person to Lowes to get this resolved.

They are thinking about it now. They better make up their mind quick, the return policy is 30 days for major appliances at Lowes. Tell them to forget about "causing any trouble", they are victims here and nobody cares whether they return it or not anyway.
