concrete balance weight Dryer also has a concrete counter balance as I recall.

limited capacity is a bummer. The cycles are fast and the ramped agitator can turn over big loads. If the price is right I'd grab them and ask questions later. Good condition GE FF sets don't come along too often these days and you could always resell them if you change your mind. I have...

It's the 2nd oldest 806 known on this site My first Maytag was (is) a 1966 A806, have to get the numbers, I think its an early model. I didn't know much about vintage Maytags other than their reputation for reliability and I was looking for a daily driver. So jump on Craigslist and there is...

It has the 8 finned agitator… Wow, that A806 console looks almost brandy new; Very little wear or yellowing on the push buttons and dial, paint looks good too. Tub and agitator are clean as well. Definitely a low mileage machine, should clean up nice. Automotive polishing compound and some...

I do unplug after use If you feel the need to unplug I'd install a 20A switch up stream of the receptacle. You're lucky this didn't start a fire IMO.

Most everything you read online comparing LED "to every other lighting technology is mendacious propaganda propped up by blatantly incorrect information". And climate change and EV's and wind farms and "net zero"...

Take off the front panel and have a look around.

it died of the Black death Those damper pads must have been bone dry or weren't glued well at the factory, or both. Hate sound like a broken record but vintage Maytag owners- lube those damper pads.

just put a 2000 Maytag washer on the scrap truck John, what was the cause of death on that 2000 MT washer?

passed away in a house explosion back in 2019. Oh, that sucks. Some of his posts were legendary, like this one: https://www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?38714 The site is not the same without him, redcarpetdrew and other super knowledgeable people with a sense of humor.

How to open the top starts at :41 The washer in that vid is a different design than your sister's LAT series Maytag. "Norge Tag" I believe they're called.

How to open the top starts at :41 Yeah I'm not watching that youtube vid and have to wade through their shitty commercials. Top opens like a car hood: Remove the two front panel screws and lift outward and upward from the bottom to release the top clips, then remove the screws at the front...

that's leaky and stinky. While you're in there replacing the valve that machine looks like it needs a good cleaning inside and out. The later models with the redesigned plastic tub cover get crudded up more easily. I'd take the front panel off and lift the top and give the tub a good...

the smell I'm getting some citric acid. Try bleach and hot water wash first. The smell is likely mildew and other crud probably from cold water washes, not enough detergent or bleach. Citric acid is good for hard water deposits

do it while they're still available Looks like aftermarket Stem Kits are available, (but probably made in china)...

drill a hole to drain, It the trans oil has thickened to the point where it affects agitation good luck trying to drain it. That stuff is like molasses, even using gasoline it takes some elbow grease to get it all cleaned out.

Never a single bit of simulated wood grain The 10 Series machines had wood grain consoles.

people fought the coming of the gasoline car Who fought the adoption of gas powered vehicles, the buggy whip industry? Were massive government subsides and incentives needed to convince people to give up their horse and wagons? Was the government trying to force people into purchasing motor...
