    A DE606 from 1966!

    Hey folks! I've been absent for a while, but recently came across a Maytag DE606 that I couldn't pass up. It was listed on Facebook Marketplace, and the listing said it had been in use up until a few days prior, but that now the button wouldn't stay in. For just $20, I had to go grab it.

    The Many Variants of the Maytag "Chime Actuator"

    Anyone happen to know the logic behind Maytag's revisions of the "Chime Actuator" in the dryers (DE/DG 806, DE/DG 808, others?) over the years? The overall bracket arrangement seems to have been designed around a simple bent wire with a screw & nut. Later on, a molded flexible plastic part...

    Standalone bell / solenoid modules - Any machines use them?

    Off-hand, does anyone know of a machine that had a standalone physical bell with a solenoid striker for the end-of-cycle chime? I'm looking for a part for a project, but can't seem to find any readily available. There were the Maytag 806 & 808 dryers of course, but those parts are forever...

    Maytag Washer Water Valves - Changes Over Time

    A couple quick questions about the non-thermostatic Maytag washing machine water inlet valves: 1) Does anyone know what changed between the 2-3177 / 23177 / 203177 valve, the 2-14377 valve, and the 2-5613 / 25613 / 205613 vale? All three appear visually identical in outside appearance. The...

    Large Brushless DC (BLDC) Motors in NA-Market Machines?

    A bit of a different question... Is anyone aware of any washers/dryers made for the North America markets, that used brushless DC motors in a conventional belt-drive application? I'm seeing that Samsung seems to like them, for example the "DC93-00316A" washer and "DC31-00184C" dryer motors...
