Quite A coincidence! I always preferred the colors of the early '50s machines. The red wringer release, agitator, and agitator clutch handle go so well together.

Mine is indeed from 1954. The original owner wrote the date of purchase on the cover of the owner's manual. That date is 7/4/54. Yes, I did the work with the unit upright. Phil said it wouldn't leak during surgery, and he was right. I figured that there was more potential for damage trying to...

First load with the new seal! I just couldn't resist taking that picture! With the old seal, there would be a drop of oil hanging off the power unit after every load. Now, it's completely dry! I certainly hope someone will find this thread helpful. I know I sure would've! To anyone that is...

Repair is done!!! The new seal is installed! I took pictures of the various steps, they are below in their own posts. Larry's suggestion of using the square end of a socket wrench extension on the square pulley bolt worked great. I used a pulley/flywheel puller to remove the pulley, as it...

Good News!! Phil said that the seal can be replaced with the power unit attached to the washer.

I'm probably not going to have time to work on it until next weekend. I will certainly take pictures of the repair.

She doesn't make noises, but a dime-sized drop of oil ends up on the floor every week if I don't wipe it off. Not exactly a flood, but enough to be concerning. I will double-check with Phil before doing anything. Thank you for your help. I will definitely keep you updated!

Attached is a photo of the leak. The seal that I have is part # 15339, on page 3-22 of the service manual. I'm thinking that, since the seal and the washers are installed from the outside of the power unit, that they might be removable without removing the power unit from the washer. The...

I've read that thread, but Larry replaced that seal with the transmission removed from the washer. If possible, I'd like to change the seal without removing the transmission. Has anyone done this? Is it even possible? When I bought the seal, I asked Phil if this was possible, and he said that...

Hello, everyone! I have a 1954 Maytag E2L that occasionally drips oil from the pulley shaft. I've bought the replacement seal, but before I replace it, I have a question. Since this seal is keeping oil in the power unit, won't the oil just pour out when I remove the old seal? If so, would...

So I should just match the colors on both the console and motor wires? What about the unlabeled pins? Can someone please provide a photo of the wiring on one of these. I found the schematic, but can't make heads or tails of it. The switch is part # 207684 Attached is a photo of the switch...

My Maytag A612 will not run, and the motor emits a loud buzz. Turning it off, and moving the belt by hand a few inches starts it again. Yesterday, it stopped completely. I swapped it out with another Maytag I had on hand, and opened the case to look at it today. During the move, a few of the...

Thanks for all your help.

I have a Maytag E2L wringer washer with serial # F173651N and I was wondering what year this unit was made.
