A806 A702 project  Base painted with legs & rubber feet. Lots of prep,sanding and sweat. Motor carriage glides and springs with the motor being lightly painted and adding an oil port for the wick. Brand new NOS transmission with the new style bottom seal. The wiring was not cut,Those pigtails...

I have torn down the A702 with the A806 internals that came to me through Ben & Tyler. The buildup on the outer tub brought out the worst in me. I even used Hydrochloric acid ,plastic spatula tools and stiff brushes. It worked but there's a couple rusty pitted areas I will have to deal with.  ...

Can you post some pictures of your machine & drain hose setup ? That original drain loop line picture is confusing . [this post was last edited: 12/18/2020-19:23]

I have a pair The washer needs dogs,lid switch and the off button on the control panel does not respond. The dryer works fine--Joe

WOW DAN!! This model has the expensive 3-2528 switch like the DE806 right? Please take me to school sir!!

Part 302278.Be sure to oil the wick-- There are a few on Ebay--good luck

Your valve is the actual elbow at 31 inches high on this machine. Pull it off,gut it and clamp it back together. It is simply removing a check valve from the fitting itself. Afterwards make sure your highest drainage point is at least 4 inches higher than your washer lid. I used to siphon gas...

SIPHON VALVE I'll bet a quarter Dan is right. My 87 A310 had this issue. I gutted the siphon valve since my drain entry was 8 inches above the tub height. Drains like a jet .

Thanks Geoff, Maybe they purchased a double extended warranty--LOL

Brilliant!!! Ben , One last question for now, That 1-1/2 gap between the tub cover & top in the picture by swapping the interior to the A806. My thoughts involve using a long A108 transmission with the A806 deep tubs to make up that gap--Your thoughts please?-thanks,Joe

Excellent-Thank you all So--The timer picks speeds per machine and is variable? There is no absolute answer. Then you throw the green wire at me and blow my mind. Green to me has always been considered ground. Think I'll start & finish each project and ask you all about the diagrams. I...

SPECIFICALLY I can't get my brain around the motor windings. The video posted splitting double positive and negative leads. Then my brain is thinking HEY!! maybe universal motor windings for 240v use in Europe? I am used to 240v or 110v motors and even 3 phase with nameplate wiring...

Thanks Everyone I have the 702 and 806 figured out and basically all of these,or mine, are 6 wire lead motors. Basic question--Take the relay's OFF most of these and throw them aside. The wiring leading into the motor?? Is orange always low speed positive? Is Black always positive high speed...

HINT HINT DAN & BEN As you know there were several relays and wire colors for the 2 speed Maytag motors .I am currently restoring a A702 and A806 mostly from Ben. I have most of the wiring diagrams but I feel a general explanation of the motor wiring along with a simple pictorial is overdue by...

CALL THE MAN AUNT BEE !! Meg, May I suggest you call Antique Appliance in Clayton GA at 706-782-3132. They are familiar with your fridge which has a tricky refrigerant splitter valve behind the top rear panel. Having some HVAC guy pumping r-12 with just a hint of air or moisture mixed in can...

Enough please I started this whole mess and after a severe ass whipping by the webmaster,I apologize for being insensitive to others . I will only use this platform for technical issues going forward.Let's let it die and again ,My apologies --Joe

Guess I have to spell it out---So the 40 buck advice charge is waived if a proven premium paid AW member wishes to speak with Eugene??

FIGHT?? I don't want to fight,I just want to separate helping from hawking.I believe professional businesses' making money off the back of AW should maybe give some perks to members. I don't feel it's fair to upload pictures ,tutorials and advice out of friendship just for some well to do...

Brilliant move ,Perhaps not! -Check

Doubt it Evaporator fan on means compressor on usually. If that was mine and original, I'd run a hard start kit. If the compressor is newer then replace the compressor relay,Otherwise Look up Supco RC0410 on Google,quite a few video's--Good luck--Joe
