The brake is dry. It just needs a bit of heavy motor oil. It's not a super-involved project.

John, as I said, I was wrong.   I shouldn't AW.org when drunk.   What name did I call you?   I honestly didn't realize that there was a 1/4" difference between the pre-1966 Maytag 16 gallon washers and the post 1966 design. It's not well documented in the literature and my service...

I have not. My bad Jon. Sorry :( You are the expert of ALL. I should have remained silent. That said, I have 3 16 gallon orbital machines in my basement that are NOT in use at the moment…. Tomorrow is only a Day AWAY!!! as a little red-headed orphan once said. But since you ARE the resident...

Actually, the orbital will fit the older machines. There were two orbital kits. One for "Large capacity"machines (19 gallon) and another for "standard capacity" machines (16 gallon).

Yes. That's a KDI-56A

Actually, from my research, many of the glass tops were Custom Deluxe. That looks like a 1973 RCDE3-37CW.   This would also be consistent with the "shaded" poppy color.

That's an early A606 with only 3 water levels (pre-Permanent Press), thus it is a large capacity machine. The other give-away that it's a an A606 is the separate "Soak" cycle. The A206 never had that. Also, the A206 was never offered with a white porcelain tub.   I think it's the angle of the...

That replacement is what saved the washer most likely.   Once the stock of NOS and factory rebuilt pitman transmissions was depleted after the introduction of the orbital transmission in the summer 1989, repair techs were instructed to replace a failed pitman transmission with an orbital. This...

Sounds like a timer issue from what you are describing.

You have one of the great "One-Armed-Wonders" of dishwasher history there!   These were great performers IF you loaded them properly, used the right detergent and had HOT water.    I have rebuilt one myself and use it as a chef's dishwasher on a regular basis.

OK, I was close... (I don't have the 1966 K line tech-talk)

The range is genuine. I think that's a N series from 1968.

With that amount of phosphates I would consider it "the good stuff". The old Cascade professional had about 7% phosphates.

I doubt the lights dim. If I recall correctly, he has a VERY solid 200 amp single-phase service into the "Lodge".

Model RS-28 1953 model year. I have NO idea what the knob is on the far right.

The other issue regarding pilot lights is that, unlike in other appliances, the small amount of heat that is generated by the pilot light actually does go into the water so the waste is far lower!

However, how much natural gas will be used to make the electricity to keep the electronic controls, powered ventilation equipment and ignition in operation?

I have the control panel off of a Performa built in Newton. LAT2500AAE serial ends in AJ = May, 2002 

Yes, some here have called it that.
