Possibly. I didn’t know these things were made is any other color. Perhaps it indicates that this model doesn’t have a mini basket option?

Oh, what does the WH mean at the end of the model number? I’ve been looking at part diagrams just to get an idea of what my machine looks like underneath and part prices and availability before I start working on it, and apparently the WH isn’t a part of the number. So what do they mean?

86? Neat. That makes it 6 years older than my dads Maytag, if I’m correct in assuming it’s a 92 machine.

Alright so I got the model and serial number. Anyone know what year it’s from?

Yeah that is a possibility. Open it up and post pictures before you even consider thinking about parting out that beautiful Maytag.

Ima have to agree with the guy above me. Something doesn’t quite sound right. The bottom tray flexes? Take the front cover off and see if there’s any rust that could have compromised the metal. If there is, you have a leak somewhere. But from what you described it doesn’t quite sound like your...

That is actually very smart. It’s amazing and quite sad how much people these days completely take washers for granted, especially since they were designed by someone much smarter than all of us. And not to mention how impressive the engineering was that went into them. Maytag’s nylon ball...

I read that this particular dispenser model was designed for the Rimflo models, so it wasn’t designed to fit on the filter pan. The dispenser mounting hole isn’t big enough and it doesn’t have the correct “teeth” to fit on the pan. Look at the pictures of the underside, then look at a picture of...

jons1077 The part you listed was part # WH47X43. From what I’ve read, this model is for the Rimflo, so it won’t fit on the filter pan. WH47X39 is what I need.

And as for the stuck agitator I have no access to IV bags so I’ll probably just squirt some WD-40 through the top. Hopefully it doesn’t end up separating the rubber and metal pieces that are supposed to stay in the agitator. I really don’t wanna end up having to cut it out, even if the cuts are...

Thanks for the info! Is there any way to tell what V-## mine is? I’m not home at the moment and I don’t know the model number.

Thanks! And that price ain’t half bad either. However, one of the reviews said it doesn’t fit overtop the filter pan?

And what does V-16 or V-## mean?

This is definitely a very informative thread. I just got my Filter Flo a couple days ago and it’ll probably need some work. But how many different Activator agitators were there? I thought the 3 vein ramped was the only one.

Perfect, thanks!

I thought about doing that, but I didn’t because I was worried about breaking the agitator. On a side note, you think by looking at that picture you’d be able to tell which size filter pan I should get? WH45X141, or WH1X2531?

It’s an 80s machine I’m certain of that. Here is a picture I have of the control panel:

Oh lord I’m scared now. I couldn’t find and threads about the stuck agitator. Think you could link some for me?

Yeah for $50 I think I’ll wait for now. Fabric softener is a luxury not a necessity. And I don’t wanna spend that kind of money at least until I rebuild and refurbish the washer. Off topic, but don’t you remove the filter flo agitator by simply pulling it? I pulled and pulled with all the...

Thanks! I won’t get home till late Friday night so I’ll post pictures then. But jeez, that’s a bit expensive. Would you consider that to be a fair price for something like this?
