Mouse or Rat Only a mouse. It's a freshly rebuilt 350 with an Edelbrock Performer, Holley 650, headers, lumpy cam and electronic ignition, so it does manage to move.

At first I couldn't understand... I had no idea why this A606 was getting so much attention. I liked the retro look but thought, "it's just an old machine I picked up for $35- what's so cool about that?" Now that I finished the dial and cleaned up the filter, I ran a couple of loads. I left...

Ben's request Ben, I just sent a pdf to your email. Let me know if it comes through OK. Steve

Check this out... I was going to order the new face plate for the dial, but decided I didn't want to wait that long to get it. I took what was left of the old dial and the photo fixerman provided and brought them into Adobe Illustrator. I recreated it down the the font and color, then printed...

Hidden filter... I just pulled the filter and looked at it. Yuck. The old couple I bought this from bought it new, so they should know better, but I couldn't even see light through the holes. Maybe they just became forgetful, since it didn't look like 35 years worth of grossness, but it was...

Thanks Maytag Mom I had no idea the filter was under there. Great to know. Any other things I should know about this machine? Btw, which is the perk? The bike, or the washer? ;-)

Thanks Thanks for responding so fast. You all are great!

Nevermind I just figured it out. So simple!

Me again... Can anyone tell me how to get the knob off so I can replace the dial? Thanks - this is a great resource!

Did I read that right? 15 feet? Holy Moly! Was that a typo or did it really fall 15 feet and survive? That's incredible! I don't know of any product that could withstand that type of trauma and survive! If it really was 15 feet, I will never buy anything other than old Maytags as long as I...

IT I am not sure what happened, but after unplugging each wire and putting them back on, it now works! I guess it was just a loose connection. Now I have no doubt why you all love these machines so much. If I'd done that with a new machine, it would have folded like a pop can. I am impressed...

Absolutely one of the most stupid things I've done... So I am bringing this into my house. My kids are not here, my girlfriend is out of town, my brother is busy, the neighbors are not home. I decide to bring the machine downstairs by myself. If you have any experience with this machine, you...

That's too funny! I have an early 70s theme going here. My house was built in 71, I have a 71 Chevelle, my Harley is a 72 and now this washer is a 71. Thanks for the dial info. I am going to purchase it and clean this baby up! Steve

I just picked up an old Maytag A606. I thought it looked retro, but had no idea there are fans of these machines out there until I found this site. A couple of questions if I may - is there a way to determine the year? It has the four water levels and the serial number is 308708MU if that...
