Also Just curious.. should the agitator on this machine lift off like a Wringer ?

Thanks John She has the machine unplugged, so I asked her to see if the agitator will turn by hand, she say she tried and it won’t. Is this an indication that something is seized? I’m not familiar with Maytag’s other than my Maytag Wringer

Thanks guys From what my friend says, she was washing a large heavy load of towels and midway through the wash cycle she smelled something burning. I’m not sure but think she said she saw smoke? She stoped machine and tried to spin it out. She said it didn’t agitate and didn’t spin. So I’m...

January 1983 ?

Tag With model number

This is a friends washer that has stoped working. I haven’t seen the washer in person to poke around to see what the problem is.. She just sent me pics and she’s unable to locate model number. To me it looks like 80s model that would be belt drivin. Any advice on where model number would be...

Knew you’d figure it out Was it really dirty (inner outer tubs) ?

Yes Bizarre? Maybe try fill it part way with water and see what it sounds like? What’s the history of this washer? Is it new to you? When I first heard the sound I thought maybe the tub nut was loose or tub not in right, but if that hasn’t been messed with and was running smooth before...

Something aint right See if John (combo 52) stops by. I’m a little confused…which pump had pebbles in it? The one that was on it or the one that you swaped out? Are you sure everything lined up when you put the motor back in? You usually can feel it drop into place when reinstalling the...

When Pointer is set there and knob pulled, it should start fast agitation without filling. Its one quick way of diagnosing a bad coupler

Dan Here is where the setting is on mine

Very nice condition That’s great that it only a broken motor coupler. Check lid switch too in case (can be bypassed if needed) I think there’s a setting on the dial you can set the pointer to to check if machines motor coupler and neutral drain? I didn’t know mine had that setting til...

Wonder If it just has a broken motor coupler ?

I feel kinda bad Saw this thread lingering at the top, so decided to check back in. With all the commotion..I decided to look further into Laundry Guy. I watched a couple of videos, one wasn’t about laundry..just a video tour of his store and he was showing some of his merchandise at Xmas...

Pierre A lot of us here are still using what u described, myself included. I’ve toyed with the idea of having a modern front loader..so that I could wash pillows and bulky items that I can’t put in my old school washer, but haven’t gotten there yet What machine are u using now that’s got you...

Jerome Just read all that .. A lot to unpack there..and to try to be as fair as possible to him.. It’s true that if detergent can’t be rinsed out then it’s not effective..as it’s crucial that effective rinsing carries the detergent and dirt away and down the drain. However what machine is not...

Jerome It’s sure not with getting too upset over..sit down have a beer relax! Thank you for posting the link! I’ve never used a modern front loading machine and I found ur link informative and interesting, and certainly made more sense than a tbls of detergent and a scrub brush! LOL

Express Cycle? So when washing in my Maytag Wringer, recommend agitation times are usually 3-5 minutes according to the manual. We all know why. So would this dude tell me to reduce agitation time to 1 minute? Ya know..to get a “express cycle” Also when using soap (that’s made for laundry...

How do we get on the same no not call list as the police department or hospital? They ain’t callin them. So if there’s a way to stop them from harassing those phone numbers, there has to be a way to stop them from calling us! Who’s gona share the secret?

Hi guys Elisha’s post about searching for a usable wringer for his folks caused me to wonder how many here on the forum are using wringers exclusively? I recently had a breakdown of my automatic daily driver, and until I could get a part to fix it, I resorted to the faithful Maytag wringer...
