Greg:
I get your point- my centre-dials couldn't be easier to figure out and operate. But having the ephemera to go along with the machines is very interesting to me, the difference between having nice old machines and having the beginnings of a proper collection. After all, how did you get to know so much about old washers? ;-)
So, I'll keep looking- they'll turn up. Some damn day...

Wasn't the "manual" provided with Maytags nothing more than a an 8.5 x 11" (A4)a two-sided oaktag (thick paper) page?

I think it would be interesting to see how Whirlpool handles the documentation from the former Maytag company files.
I would think that since we are talking about consumer products, they would have to keep some documentation on file for several years. When a company buys out another company, do they also acquire the product liability of the former company? There lies the answer. Maybe one of our more legally well versed members could answer this.

Holy Smokes!
Thats a very full washload Gary! I've never washed more than 5 pairs of jeans at one time in my Maytag! I am too much of a wuss about over loading it!
You are correct though, it will turn those clothes over, and everything comes out clean and rinsed well.
I am so happy you found those machines!

Full Load
Dear Gadgetwitches,
There is a knurled knob on the load size selector that will allow you to adjust the fill level upward, bringing the water level to the top of the agitator. This provides more water for freer movement of the clothing during wash and better rinsing.

Quite a Load
I have never washed my dickie in a Maytag.
I agree with Jeff. Drop the soiled clothing in the wash tub and don't pack. When it's filled to the top its time to start the washer. If I have to push or pack it in, then its too many items. We want this machine to be aound for your estate sale, don't we?

A BobLoad® if I ever saw one
Especially for a standard-capacity Maytag, that poor dear must have been loaded to the hilt, although equally impressive is the fact that everything came out well. Looks more like a 1-18 load to me...I can see that the Frigidaire Fever is setting in already! ;-)

loading the Maytag
I have the manuals for my machines, and for a FULL load it instructs you to load the clothes loosely to the top row of holes in the tub(for a full load obviously)
Gary, whats the weight comparision between Dickies and regular denim? My A608 has the big tub, and 5 pairs of jeans are the most I have ever washed at one time.
Kelly, where is this know that adjusts the fill? Enquiring minds want to know!

You should get better advice from Tom or Gregg, but...Remove the cover from the control pannel. Look at the water level selection switch. Nestled in the switch is a white wheel that can be be rotated left or right to raise and lower the water level in the machine. Be sure to have the power off or be super cautious because you can get a shock while doing this. It only takes a half turn to add a gallon so don't go cranking.

Someone is having loads of fun with his new helical-drive tr
My mother would be proud of you hiding your undies on the clothes line in the rear.
Dining room cloth nakins and undies at the same time however, TISK TISK, Mother Toggle would blow a major gasket. This from a woman who would not wash anyhing worn above the waist with anything worn below the waist.

Toggle Dear,

Actually, it was not only my undies that I was hiding(ducks and runs)
Everything was cleaned wonderfully in my new helical drive unit.
