407 more images... John, You're right... more images are needed. This 407 has some rust (my 806 was in much rougher shape), but not too bad. The tub enamel is worn. If this were an 806 or perish the thought a 906, this would be a different story. But alas, an old beat-up 407. I'm leaning...

I have a question for the collective. Should I grab an available Maytag a407? Context: I already have a fully restored 806, with an a500 Highlander waiting in my basement for some attention. I'm not sure if this 407 is worthy of restoration. Maybe for parts? Is there some rare part or...

Don't give up (2) Jeannine, I'm echoing Barry's sentiment. If you have the means, I would implore you to investigate. It could be something as simple as a worn gasket. Please keep us posted (I live vicariously through these repair scenarios!). I sincerely wish you the best of luck.

it's now free They changed the listing... free

Thanks Joe! I appreciate the information. When I perform the mod. I'll post some images. Cheers, Chris

Wiring the light Joseph, Thanks for sharing your workflow! Excellent work! Can you share any insights regarding the tub light wiring mod.? I'll be rebuilding the transmission of my a806 (see Post# 1073856) and figure while it's all apart, why not add a light? In my scenario, I was...

Nicely Done! Thanks for sharing your thought process. Please share how resilient this fix is over time. This exemplifies why I enjoy this website: yet another fine illustration of how "thinking outside the box" rescues these old appliances from the landfill. Cheers.

Interesting Thread Joseph, thanks for starting this thread. I look forward to seeing your progress (especially the A702!). Dan, thanks for the video! Building on this: how does one evaluate, and clean a vintage Maytag electric 2-speed motor? I imagine there are some do's and dont's. I...

Eugene Rocks! I've enjoyed and learned much from Eugene. Through this website, he has illustrated humor (love his soundtracks!) and insight. Live and let live.

sweet find It looks like an excellent candidate for restoration!

Sorry Christina! I had the same idea. A window on a Maytag drier would be most excellent! I'll keep you in mind if I spy any winowed Maytag drier doors in the Boston area for both of us! If anyone else is interested in a windowed door, we should look out for each other and leverage the...

to John Hey John, You are absolutley right, gas fired ranges produce quite a bit of CO. I can't tell you how many times students (Boston area) report to the E.R. with CO poisoning because they misuse gas ranges to heat apartments (cheap but foolish). Regarding CO and gas appliances, I...

Sorry John This is a bit of a drift, but I need to call balls and strikes when it enters my realm. Human health and disease is my training/life, and I have been published in numerous medical/scientific journals. To which, I rely on peer review. Cotton is an irritant, not a carcinogen. There...

Don't vent a gas dryer into your house: critical points. The most dangerous byproduct of natural gas (methane) combustion is carbon monoxide (CO) rather than carbon dioxide (CO2). CO2, a byproduct of mammalian respiration (breathing) is exhaled and heavier than air, in beer and soda. Carbon...

The price is right! Near Acadia National Park, one of my favorite places... Grab a lobster, take in the scenery, and save an old washer. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/733943727183489

Never used Maytag DW on CL... I'm a Kitchenaid guy myself, but heads-up https://providence.craigslist.org/app/d/woonsocket-maytag-brand-new-in-box/7193447061.html

At least I think it's a 700. Apologies if not... $50, seems like a good deal... https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/306132800689093

end of the line OK gang, Here is the end of the story. Maxsold messed up. They should not have listed the washer if it was still connected to the water supply. They refunded my $1 (winning bid for a mint condition Maytag a806... pooh, we all know it's worth more than that!). I was informed...

reply #10 et al. John, I think you nailed it. With COVID-19, the whole situation was stressed. There was a manic sense of urgency... be brief and be gone. I'll keep the pressure on with Maxsold. If I do manage to get this 806 I'm definitely open to trades etc. On the lighter side, I...
