Lost Cause... I contacted several parts suppliers trying to find this glass to no avail. I contacted two antique gas pump glass panel reproducers. One guy said it would be too difficult to match the paint, the other guy said he most likely could, but could only do runs of 100 or more. Fat...

My 641c electric does a great job of drying. A load of cotton will dry in about 40 minutes. The only problem I have is that there is no cool down period. Even with the wash and wear setting I get no chime. The dryer just shuts off hot. Must be a timer issue.

Very good, thanks guys!

Thanks! Are the parts for the brake still available?

Agitation Question What would cause the inner tub to spin freely once in a while during the wash/agitation cycle?

Very Nice! Washed and dried my first couple loads and I am impressed! The old saying they don't make them like they used to sure rings true with these machines! Probably the smoothest running machines in my house, next to my 1948 GE fridge.

Count me in Dan. I also thought about contacting Ricks Restoration in Vegas. He has glass reproduced all the time by someone. Probably be expensive given all his attention from the show.

Cracked glass :-(

The tub.

Thought I would share a few picks of my 142. You will see the crack in the right side panel and the repaired agitator.

Thanks for the insight! I take it there is no way to add oil to the transmission without taking it apart?

I know that Maytags typically start to leak from the bottom (as mine is doing now). The machine is very quiet and runs good. I take it the washer is on borrowed time with a leak, but I was curious as to how much use I can expect out of the washer before the machine will need to be dissessmbled...

Fixed! I used an old Telechron rotor trick to breath some life into old rotors. I placed the rotor on a 100 watt light bulb for 5-10 min then quickly submerged it into a very cold jar of 3 in 1 oil. This pulls the oil into the rotor and relubricates the inside. A gentle push later and she was...

Thanks for the help!

The dial on my 641c dryer won't advance on its own leading me to believe the dial motor is shot. Does anyone know where I may find a dial motor?

Very good, thanks!

Part Number? Does anyone know the part number for this panel? Thanks Andrew, that may be an option. However, the paint is also chiped and would need to be repaired.

Thanks much! This group has been absolutely fantastic so far, I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Thanks for the help John, but for now I'll stick with the cracked one I have as I do like the color better. I will definitely contact you if I change my mind. Thanks again! David, I will give Marty a try and see what happens. Thanks for digging this up!
