Is it typical for a 142 to bleed water back through the opposite hose? With the hot water hose disconnected and the cold water hose hooked up to full pressure, a little cold water comes out the hot hose. Was this a design flaw or is the solenoid going bad? On another note, I'm still looking for...

Just an FYI for those in need of timer re-builds, Midwest Timer (the Mallory experts for years in Benton Harbor, MI) will not work on many old timers anymore. I have a DE700 Maytag timer that I wanted rebuilt. I called them and the engineer said they will not work on them anymore. Anyone else...

Could someone give me the part number for the metal clips that hold the bleach dispenser onto the washer for a Maytag 142. Not sure if they are still available though.

Can someone give me the part numbers for the motor rollers and springs on a 142?

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

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...

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?

Being a Telechron electric clock collector myself, I know that Telechron (later owned by General Electric) made 1 rpm motors for various companies and their components. The same goes for Hansen, which still produces motors today. Does anyone know for sure if these timers used in vintage...

I am in the process of cleaning and adjusting a Maytag 142 washer and am having a heck of a time trying to remove the filter from the agitator. I believe the filter probably hasn't been removed in 30+ years and is frozen in lime and caked detergent. Has anyone had this issue before or does...

I have a couple quick questions for you vintage Maytag experts. All of the bulbs in my recently acquired 142's are missing. I want to purchase new ones, but need to know the exact wattage for the dial light and tub light. The dial light sockets have 75 W stamped on them, but 75 watts seems...

Hello all! I have just received my Maytag model 142 matching washer/dryer pair in turquoise! Unfortunately during transport, the right side glass cracked on the washer (the side with Maytag writing). Does anybody know where I could find one of these? Thanks ahead.
