status - awaiting resolution by parts vendor On Friday (7/30) I had a pleasant conversation with the parts supplier's representative. She researched the part number I was supplied and confirmed it was incorrect in their cross reference; that I needed the 99002572 instead of the 2571 I...

Update - no news I have left it alone except for pulling the agitator every day it is used. It remains shiny clean under there - not even worth dabbing with a paper towel. The clothes haven't received any new stains.

John, that is a most generous and tempting offer indeed. I will try to return the -2571 for a refund and then make arrangements for a visit to Beltsville, if that would be best for you. I'm north in Carroll County. Doug, thinking same as you, I expected to install the flip-up tines in the...

After all, the machine has given reasonable service for 14 years at just over $400 new, I supposed it doesn't owe me anything. About 5 years ago I needed to replace the door gasket, dispenser latch & wax motor, and a couple switches ruined by the leak. I hate the thought of buying a new...

How do I adapt the loose tines? I figure maybe someone else here has objected to the hostage-taking that makes some dipped welded wire run almost half the original cost of the machine, and has wound up with this substitute rack. Or perhaps I'll get advice the vendor sent me the wrong rack...

New rack came yesterday This is what I received. The best part number research I could do identified the Whirlpool substitution rack as 99002572. The vendor of this part hid the mfr's numbers until I received the actual part, where on their packing list it is identified as a -2571 instead of...

Greetings and good morning. I discovered this wonderful online place last week, and found expert and enthusiastic help for my vintage Maytag clothes washer, so I've spent some time searching the posts for a solution to a very common dishwasher problem. The problem, as you can see, is the rack...

After a week... Wife has done a load of beach towels, and I have added three loads of my own stuff, including white towels, examining each piece carefully as it comes out. I think there are no new stains, at least I believe I recognize all the old ones, but each time I check under the...

That Kenmore was no fun at all, because I kept failing to fix it. I recall the sales person in the appliance store nodding his head and then showing me how empty and simple the Maytag's cabinet was. I cleaned things up and ran a load, then updated the pictorial link. My opinion so far is the...

Grease found Long term cold water use WILL causes a build-up of nastiness to occur. Oddly, my dear wife has not experienced the staining when she does her clothes. She uses all the temperature ranges, and the same soap. You might want to investigate a cleaning cycle with hot water and...

Agitamer - wow As a point of interest, I found you all, by reading a thread where a member was looking for the owner/operator manual for an A608. I have an extra, if that is really something useful. Could not find any mention of periodic agitator removal as PM, but it does have this as the...

Thanks for the warm welcome! Since you mention splines, I figure I should be able to remove the agitator by pulling it straight up. With 8 fingers between drum and agitator, I pull, pry, and wiggle, then -- just before I break the thing -- decide to check back with you to be sure that's the...

Since purchasing this white A608 on Sept. 8, 1978, I've only had to replace one belt, fix the siphon break, and clean the motor start contacts over its entire 32 year career. Suddenly I am blaming it for gradually marking every piece of clothing and towel with black, smeary-looking stains, one...
