Hello all! I am looking to find and obtain for a reasonable price, one of the chrome cap and lint filter assemblies for an older standard tub Maytag. I’m not sure how many of them are out there, but I would love to add some chrome in place of the turquoise lint filter on my A106, that stands out...

Hello all, Today I started diving in to my Maytag A106, with the goal to change the transmission oil and get it back to agitating correctly. I posted last year that I was having issues with it struggling to agitate, and without much time, experience, knowledge, or parts, I decided to leave it...

According to the seller it is not functional. Not sure what it would take, but may be interesting to someone here that would be wanting to put in the effort. Seller is asking $50 and its located in Marion Illinois...

Hello everyone! With the weather getting warmer, I'm finally looking towards getting my Kenmore 70 series BD machine unwinterized and operational for the summer. I am currently looking to get either a Roto-Swirl, Penta-swirl, or Vari-flex agitator for it to do some experiments and testing. If...

Hello all, I have a relatively small question to ask for today. I ran the first load of laundry through my 1969 Maytag A106 today, and noticed it seemed to be agitating rather slowly. Without clothes in it, it starts off agitating rather slowly but picked up to full speed in a couple seconds...

Today I finally decided to dive into the Westinghouse a little bit and started by taking off the back. There is a little bit of rust and dust, but overall i’m not overly concerned about the condition of things. However I did encounter a couple issues. I found the water valve was not properly...

Hello everyone! As some may recall, I became the owner of a 1969 Maytag A106 in December of 2022. Today I finally got to give it it’s time to shine, and figured i’d make an update as to its condition. The timer operated smoothly, advancing at the correct increments, and the machine came right...

Found this gem while browsing marketplace. I believe it to be a solid tub speed queen, however I'm unsure what year it is. Someone should save it! https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/3380962205552146/

Pretty decent looking A806 for a nice price. Don't know if working or not but probably a good deal! https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/960041164999982/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A9cc0129c-5c5c-4c83-8208-39a7549d4ccb

Hello Everyone! Recently I've been starting the search for repair and refurbishment parts for some of my machines, since I know eventually they will wear down and start to have issues pop up here and there. I'd like to get ahead of the curve and start getting together what parts I can find now...

Looks to be fairly well used, but if cleaned up, this could be a great find https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/5083316471770846/?mibextid=dXMIcH

I know there’s been discussions on this before, and I’ve read them all, and tried everything but I am at a complete loss. Multiple attempts to remove this inner tub from a 2010 Amana DD, and nothing has even gotten it to budge. I’ve tried boiling water between the drive block and tub, rust...

Pretty clean looking suds saver Maytag. I want to say A612S? https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/696512901965041/

Hey all, I come to you with a question I have to ask just out of pure curiosity. The other day while browsing use and care guides, I came across a “Theory and operation” guide for the Whirlpool Gold Electronically controlled Catalyst. In it, it claims it has a usable service mode and machine...

Looks to be in fairly rough condition, but listing says it works still https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1297145774182415/

Hello everyone, I have a quick question for all of you. Does anybody know how I could potentially wire in the small “Pilot Light” above the dial on my 1969 Maytag A106? Since it’s bottom of the line, the A106 has the spot for the pilot light, including a small glass lens where the light should...

Today was a big day for me. I finally brought the avocado green Westinghouse home! I have not been able to do much looking at it underneath, but it seems in rather good condition, just very dirty from sitting. According to the seller they sat in his aunts basement for close to 30-40 years, so it...

Hello everyone. As some may have seen, I recently talked with somebody selling a Avocado Green Westinghouse washer. After arranging pick up of that machine he also decided to throw in this second machine for free, which is in similar condition. I have some questions about it though. From what I...

Hello everyone, I’ve ran into a big issue with my 2001 Kenmore Elite Catalyst. When I went to use it today for the first time since the beginning of winter, It sprung a massive leak from around the water valve. It also was allowing water through all four inlet points at once, rather than just...
