Well, I'm about to do it again. I've found a Frigidaire Flair (30" single oven). It's begging to become yet another in my growing appliance collection. I can't resist that MCM vibe it exudes. I would be responsible for removal. Are there any tricks or pitfalls I should be aware of? I'd...

Not sure on the model... couldn't get this to post in the shopper's square section of AWORG, but this one should generate some interest. Free. Happy hunting. https://boston.craigslist.org/bmw/zip/d/wellesley-washer/7375553340.html

Hey Gang, Thinking about swapping a Maytag 806 top console/lid/wiring harness (circa 1979) onto the body of an 80s a412. I'm pretty sure the 806 2 speed motor would also need to be switched (2 speed). I thought I saw a thread where something similar had been done. Is this possible? Chris...

From a colleague: For collecting old appliances: the correct number to own is n + 1, where "n" is the current number (i.e. there's always another). Caveat: the equation must be rewritten if one has a partner as s - 1, where "s" is the number of appliances that will result in separation from...

I have a question for the collective. Should I grab an available Maytag a407? Context: I already have a fully restored 806, with an a500 Highlander waiting in my basement for some attention. I'm not sure if this 407 is worthy of restoration. Maybe for parts? Is there some rare part or...

The price is right! Near Acadia National Park, one of my favorite places... Grab a lobster, take in the scenery, and save an old washer. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/733943727183489

Never used Maytag DW on CL... I'm a Kitchenaid guy myself, but heads-up https://providence.craigslist.org/app/d/woonsocket-maytag-brand-new-in-box/7193447061.html

At least I think it's a 700. Apologies if not... $50, seems like a good deal... https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/306132800689093

Hey Gang, I had a supremely bad experience with Maxsold that I wanted to share with you all as a cautionary tale. I won a Maytag 806 in flawless condition. Arranged for help and transportation. Arrived at the site, ready to move the washer (2nd floor). The Maxsold site manager informed me...

Hey Gang, I'm saving a Kitchenaid KD-11. Any tips on safely moving? Any weak spots? My best guess: remove the spray arm and racks rest on its side during the move? Tips greatly appreciated! Thanks, Sprog (a.k.a. Chris)

Some of you may remember, I scored an A500 a few months ago. In the spirit of game theory, I'm considering the possibilities. It may sound silly, but I really like the light-up features of an A700. Along those lines, I was thinking of adding lighting to the tub, and possible lighting to the...

Hey Gang, Newsreel footage from 1950s "Industry on Parade". Start watching 26:46... I could be mistaken, it appears to be a Maytag AMP being constructed on the assembly line. Note the absence of respirators while spraying or the guy smoking while welding. Ahh the good old days. Have fun!

Hey Gang, Scanning CL, I came upon a "scrap" listing with an old Maytag peeking out of a pile metal junk. Could it be? Despite the fact that the listing was "all or nothing", I appealed to their sensibility and luckily, they happily agreed. I discovered this machine was a wedding gift for the...

I'd like to leverage the power of the collective mind... After rebuilding a Maytag 806 helical transmission (circa 1979) I noticed transmission fluid dripping from the brake package area. This started ~1 year after a complete overhaul. My best guess is that I chose the wrong o-ring material...

Thanks to those who have contributed to this wonderful website! You've inspired me to save a pair of old Maytags (a806 de808) from the landfill. In the spirit of giving back, here is what I learned from my restoration (that I haven't seen on this site). For the dryer: Dryer-sheet residue...
