That washer has the later orbital trans with a replaceable lip seal on the bottom of the shaft. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Maytag-Lip-Seal-Kit-207843-Transmission-NEW-/161389548624?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2593911450#ht_1059wt_0

I've noticed the condition of particular K-mart stores seem to be a reflection of the communites in which they're located. Lower income locations are typically were the run down, poorly staffed stores are found. The K-marts that I frequent in my area are well kept and the sales/clearances...

Mom 'n' Pop shops whenever possible Personally, I can't stand the mom and pop shops. I'll only go if there is something that can't be be found find elsewhere. Return policies are usually a major hassle, they hate to let the money go, If an item is opened or lightly used forget about a cash...

opportunity to buy a Maytag A810 washer and dryer Depends on the condition. A W/D set of that vintage will probably need some rehab, therefore you'd want to get them as cheaply possible, around $40-75 each, less if the seller is motivated. On the other hand, a low mileage TOL set in...

only turned up the WL on around 10 or less Ah, but is customer informed the water level can be adjusted on their new SQ TL?

Check Sears or a Sears Hardware. They have dryer vent hoods that are a little more sturdy than what is found at the big box stores. The dampers, while on the flimsy side, do the job.

6 yo 7 years old. SQ top loader- probably due for a new belt anyway. Very easy to check: Remove the two bottom screws that secure the front panel, lift outward and upward from the bottom. If there is lots of black dust and the belt is glazed and/or cracked that is likely the culprit.

Yes, Weird. Unlikely a scam ad however, they were probably given away or scrapped.

Thanks..

Probably gone, but here for the archives, 1969-70 vintage? http://hudsonvalley.craigslist.org/app/4521930858.html

super-concentrated detergent solutions If concentrated detergent solution is one factor to FL wash performance then wouldn't simply increasing the amount of detergent used in a top-loader improve cleaning ability as well?

Maytag high temperature adhesive I rummaged through my parts stash and found a tube of Maytag Hi-Temp Adhesive I forgot about, I will try that on the damper pads. http://www.amazon.com/Whirlpool-Y055980-High-Temperature-Adhesive/dp/B00DM8L5GU

The new pads can get attached with glue Drew, what adhesive do you recommend for damper pads? Needless to say, this is not a job one wants to do over. How about 3M Scotch-Grip #847 as used on Maytag dryer felt seals...

Well, that article sort of blows a hole in Combo52's argument regarding the longevity potential for the current crop of W/D's.

Don't let that guy near your machine, who knows what he'll damage next. I'd ask for refund as John suggested and find someone else. The brake package on a Dependable Care MT gets a teaspoon (tablespoon?) of gear oil if needed, not grease. BeeKeynee's link has a photo of the stop lug screw and...

the discoloration is dead flat (I can't feel it That could be etching from hard water. If so, no amount acids or scrubbing can bring back the gloss. However, to be sure try some medium automotive polishing compound and a lot of elbow grease. No Scotch Brite pads, porcelain is a form of glass...

Is a transmission seal leaking? The transmission has a bronze bearing on the top of the driveshaft which can allow oil to pass to the wash tub if worn and in combination with a failed stem/agitator seal. The machine will need a new stem/boot seal kit, probably a new tub bearing as well...

I mix Naval Jelly rust remover I believe Navel Jelly contains muriatic acid suspended in the gel. Muriatic acid works wonders removing mineral deposits, however it can weaken porcelain. Admittedly, I've applied straight liquid Muriatic acid to a very wet paper towel then wiped it on an...

That machine may have more issues beyond what the appliance tech possibly damaged, Greasy residue in the tub means transmission oil is migrating up into the wash water and probably vice versa. Whining noise during the spin could be something as simple as the drive belt slipping or a worn tub...
