Nobody responded to my ads and the new washer arrived yesterday. Before they took our A-608 washer I removed the timer in case someone here could use it. I installed it new about two months ago. Please contact me if you could use it. I paid $32.67 for it including shipping but will sell it for a...

Thank you very much for your help and encouragement. It may or may not be a good decision, but we decided to purchase a new washing machine. My wife isn't comfortable with the time it would take me to repair the Maytag. Sadly, it will be picked up and junked out next Thursday. A new timer was...

Thank you again for the responses. I decided to see how far I could go with this without spending a lot of money. Much to my surprise I was able to remove the agitator with a lever and rope. After a little cleaning up the picture shows where I am at. The snap ring has been removed. I wasn't...

Thank you for your responses. I am fairly mechanically capable but probably not willing to do a major overhaul on a 36 year old washer. (Removing the agitator looks like it could be a real project.) I don't see any oil leaks. It leaks a tiny bit of water between the two tub pieces on a extra...

We have a Maytag A608 Washer we have had since it was new. I replaced the timer about a month ago and it was working fine until yesterday. We heard a nasty noise and there was smoke in the basement. This happened after the washer was full of water and tried to begin the agitate cycle. The smoke...

A608 Timer Problem I apologize for the mistype in the subject of my first two messages. It should have been Maytag A-608 Washer with permanent press. I tried to change it but couldn't without an upgrade. The number on our timer is Maytag 2-04476-3. It was manufactured by Kingston. qsd-dan...

Timer Spring Location I did a little more checking and agree it must be the timer. It looks like finding another timer at any price much less a reasonable price will be next to impossible. I decided I had nothing to loose so after a bit of a struggle managed to disassemble the timer. The points...

Maytag Washer A208 No Agitate - Please Help #2 I forgot to include a wiring diagram for our Maytag A608 washer. https://www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?32311 Dean

We have a Maytag Washer A608 in good condition. It spins and removes water fine but does not agitate. With the belts removed I can turn the large center pulley in both directions. One way spins the drum and the other direction agitates as it should. The motor turns fine in the spin direction but...
