Yesterday I used Purex Mountain Breeze to hand wash my tactical face mask scarf and hung it over towels on the clothesline outside to dry in the sunshine and today it was very pleasant to wear. "Experts" say any kind of soap is good for killing germs, and antibacterial, antiviral, etc are just...

turbine oil is sold in the Zoom-spout oiler. There are different flavors but look for "turbine oil" or "turbine lubricating oil" on the label. Hardware stores should have it.

Well I decided to do a more thorough repair on my A806, so the transmission is out and I notice something strange. I wonder if anyone can explain. I can turn the agitator shaft back and forth a little by hand. It turns with lots of drag, like turning a reduction gear in reverse. The input shaft...

In the Steaming White Castle Sliders thread 6 of the pictures (11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17) are right side up, all the rest are upside down on my PC. Browser is Firefox and OS is Linux Peppermint.

In case anyone's interested most but not all of the pictures are upside down on my PC and my browser is Firefox and my OS is Linux Peppermint.

The closest thing to deep frying that I do is make popcorn, and I use peanut oil, and sometimes add in a bit of coconut oil.

I don't know about Land o'Lakes butter. I usually buy Aldi's brand and have never been disappointed with it, but once I needed butter and was in another store and bought Land o'Lakes instead. It didn't taste right. I didn't think it was spoiled, but not as good as Aldi's. Maybe it's just what...

Steven you may be right about using a board with a clearance hole for the shaft. I do have boards with holes in them around here. Too bad I didn't think of taking a picture at the time. Sounds like you got the brake off okay. I'd like to see how you do with repairing that rusty area. And I...

3 of my favorites I picked 2 old ones from the 1930's and 1 old one from the 1950's, which I think is the only Betty Crocker I have. I love the illustrations in it and picked just 2 samples to give you some idea.

Brake assembly Mine came off with no trouble using a board for leverage, and 2 clamps as in the pictures. Notice the solid jaws of the clamps are against the ribs on the brake unit so when you push on the clamps you're pushing against the ribs. Also notice the little shim under each solid jaw...

Tchaikovsky's Maytag Symphony in AW major A first class classical rebuild! Was wondering if you ever replaced the brake gasket that ripped apart on disassembly. That happened to me and I cut a replacement out of a piece of heavy paper about the same thickness, but haven't put it back together...

On my A806, I'd like to remove the damper while the support arms are still attached to the tub. I searched but can't find any mention of anyone doing what I plan to. I don't think there was any metal rubbing metal, but quite a bit of pad material was hanging out. The inside of the damper seems...

Wow how beautiful that is! What is the gold color plating on the transmission?

The service manual for the 806 with Bar Baffles says with dryer empty, shut-off solenoid should activate as follows: Regular Dry = 9 to 11 minutes Permanent Press = 12 to 19 minutes Do you have the bar or the wire baffles? They are the baffles inside the drum, the newer ones have two metal...

David- Is your NOS window made of plastic? The part name and number I found is "Maytag Washing Machine Glass Window 211723" so I assumed they were made of glass. But I suppose the term "glass" can be used in a very general way. And I believe plexiglass or acrylic can be softened and bent over.

Harvest gold lit up looking good Kevin Great pics. It looks like just a very neat bead of clear sealant around the window as Yogitunes suggested. Thanks for all the pics and replies. Joseph

Does anyone have a picture of what the tub light window looks like in the machine? I was going over the parts diagrams for my A806 and discovered that I'm supposed to have a window. Maybe that's why my tub light is so corroded and doesn't work. I found a picture of the window online, but...

$25.00 CASH. https://scranton.craigslist.org/for/d/lehighton-maytag-wringer-washer/6976747484.html

Capacitor checks out, not shorted. But when I removed the little cover/retainer over the wire terminals on the control board, I found at least 3 more that were loose. So I'm feeling confident that this is the problem. One of the goofy little wire terminals broke when I tried to make it fit...
