I’ve wanted one of these washers for a while. It’s a shame I don’t live closer because I’d totally come get this from you if it wasn’t so far.

If I lived closer to Florida I totally would. I’ve always liked these center dial Maytags.

Currently I don’t have much room available, but if they’re still available in a couple of days, they may very well end up coming back home with me.

Found this set for sale today for $225. Looks to be fairly well optioned machines. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1096053751222378/

Those are very nice machines! I’d love to get my hands on an A806 set, preferably in a color other than white. Harvest gold and Avocado Green have been longtime favorites of mine, as well as pink and turquoise but I know those are rather rare colors.

another possibility is buckets. You can use a similar method to the floor drain, just drain it into buckets and make sure to lift the hose above the water level at the end to keep it from siphoning out. it may take multiple trips to a bathtub or sink to dump the bucket out, but it will help to...

Suds return? No, this set does not have suds return. If it did, it would have five buttons on the left side, where the temperature buttons are, and a separate portion of the timer that says “return suds”. Here’s a picture of my A408S for example

Kenmore Outer Tub Rust I really wish that they had gone to plastic earlier, instead of cheapened the metal. My belt drive was built the 18th week of 1986, so it was one of the last produced belt drive washers. I know all too well about that outer tub rot. Mines been getting worse and worse over...

This house is entirely on well water, since it’s the only house around for about a quarter mile or so, and is pretty much always off. I live nowhere near close enough to go there on a regular basis (about a four hour drive south of me), so my grandpa who lives closer is usually the one who...

Water Leak I am all too familiar with that Kenmore BD outer tub leak. the bottom of the outer tub on mine is rusting around the port for the pump, which was causing water to leak out and run down and off the side of the table, and all over the floor. A good looking set and congrats on the find!

This house does have a full walk around basement, but sadly it has flooded in the past, and flooded quite a bit before the sump pump was put in. To this day i’m still trying to convince my family to let me salvage and restore the older Kenmore 500 dryer, and early 70s Maytag A??? in the...

Figured I’d hop back in with more pictures! Here’s a full picture of my entire collection. From Left to Right: The 1978 Maytag A408S, The 1989 Maytag A482 (Helical Transmission!), The 1986 Kenmore 70 Series, The 2001 Kenmore Elite Catalyst, and the little guy, The 1994 Kenmore Portable! I also...

Reply #2 This house is actually not lived in, and hasn’t been for several years. It’s in a part of rural Illinois, and was a farm house that was owned by a couple of my cousins. They moved away several years ago to other states, but still have ownership of the house. We go over every once in a...

Not to long ago, I went along with my grandpa to an old farmhouse owned by other family members. From the outside, it didn’t look like much but to my amazement the inside was like stepping back in time a few decades! Everything was so neat, and tidy, and clean, and perfectly well kept that I...

If I had the room for this machine, I’d pick it up in a heartbeat! It’s only about a 10-15 minute drive from me!

Lint filter addition This washer originally came with a self cleaning lint filter mounted to the bottom of the basket. When I removed the basket of the machine to patch rust, I notified the lint filter was not looking too good, so I removed it from the machine, and I still have it hanging up on...

Miele Washers Wow that’s a good looking machine! I’ve frequently seen one of these on display at an appliance store near me, but they’re not for sale, and aren’t used as they’re just a display model. I wish I could get my hands on one of these some day, they’ve always appealed to me! Best of...

The belt drive Kenmore is a 1986 Kenmore 70 Series! However I have modified it slightly in the years I’ve owned it, with a waterfall style manual clean lint filter, and a double duty Super Surgilator. I do still have the original Dual-Action agitator too.

The Fan Favorites: The 78 Maytag and the 01 Kenmore Elite

Heat Level I’m not sure how hot it actually gets, but I can tell you it gets very hot VERY fast. I at one point shoved a whole load of clothes into the dryer and forgot to pull out an article of clothing. I started the dryer, and about 5 seconds (or thereabout) remembered the piece that needed...
