1958 Maytags

Hey Rick,

You know what? I know the burner parts for "Pinky", the 56 'Tag are just GONE. Could you take a pic to see if they are the same parts? I think I remember someone here saying the parts for the 56 was possibly one year only? I can't remember.

Ben,I just saw your post,so thought I'd go out to the alley and grab the burner for you right away. The dryer and cabinet are gone. The scrap metal hounders must have got it last night,or early this morning. Very sorry about that. ):

Thanks for your advice and detailed repair descriptions Fixerman. It sounds like it might get rather involved. The weather here is beastly hot and humid,and there is LOTS of other work to do around here also. I think after the cabinet parts are delivered to the body shop,I will take the mechanism to my part/service place and have them perform the seal replacement job.

Rick ... I LOVE these AMP's!! With the cabinet off, access to the washer is even easier than with the earlier style. Maytag continued to evolve these machines so nicely. It "seems" so much simpler to work on ... note the word "seems".

You will have a beautiful set when you're completed!! Congrats!

Rick- I love the Whirlpool washer sitting next to the white Maytag dryer.

Did someone say convention '06 in Fort Wayne???

61 Whirlpool washer

Hi David! Nice idea for a convention with a 61 Whirlpool. However we would have to have it in Worchester MA. as that is where that machine lives now. (Gregm,are you there??) LOL!

That 61 WP is a really nice machine. I replaced the two four watt light bulbs behind the white panel with a cool white mini fluorescent,and it really give the machine a unique haunting glow. That machine also features a tub,and ozone lamp.

I vaguely recall family friends had a machine like this. There were no lights, maybe burned out by the time I ran into it.
