A Maytag A-806 and a DE-806 Matched Set!

Yes siree, in one fell swoop, both machines I coveted showed up. Thanks to Martin (Yogitunes), I will be picking them up next week. The dryer (HOH?) works, but the seller has no idea if the washer does.  Only 2 pictures in the ad (shown), they look fairly good. Stay tuned!

Louie, that is the ultimate laundry pair!  You'll never need to look for anything else!

 

Congratulations!

Here's hoping the seller's brother doesn't intervene, like with that Kenmore pair...

YAY Louis!!  I would be surprised if the washer didn't work.  Keep us posted as things develop!

You bet Paul! I'll be dropping the washer off at Martin's so he could work his magic on it. I'll pick it up at a later date. The dryer is going back to Brooklyn.

Awesome! I cant wait to see more. I like the colour.

CONGRATULATIONS!!

Doing the HAPPY DANCE for ya!
Keep us posted on updates!
I hope the washer doesn't need too much work to get it running & back in service!

Keeping my fingers crossed for you...
;o)

Thanks Christina! I'm pretty happy to have joined the Maytag 806 club! Plenty of pictures coming!

OK you Maytag aficionados, is it possible to vent a DE806 from the side of the cabinet? 

 

[mrsalvo]

Those are sweet. I'm with Hippedoll, doing the happy dance for ya. They should serve you well for many years.

Why yes, yes it is. Take the back off, and there will be an aluminum elbow, that you can loosen the clamp, and turn.

here is a HOH with the body removed...appears it can be vented out either side with the addition of a few pipes....

seems it can go out either side, or out the upper back....just not straight down through the base....

Thanks guys.

 

 

I seem to remember there was a punch out on the side of the cabinet? Or was it another brand?

 

[Ultramatic]

Just answered my own question...

Super find. I think they are beautiful. I still have my 806 in my shed. I plan on getting it out this spring and getting it up and running. I miss that machine. It is the last of my collection or collecting. You will love them.

Like they say

Good things come to those who swear alot and drink. LOL! I'm just KIDDING...back off!

Congratulations, Louie. I wouldn't mind trying those out myself, someday, but I haven't seen anything nearby.

Please enjoy and have a toast of your favorite whatever(water, wine, anything) and here's to being patient.

Now I wonder if Ralph will ever find that GE fridge? hmmm.

I would love to find a real clean one myself or any other model they made with lighted tub and panel.
