Hello I just joined your forum. I may be the only woman on here, IDK! Just found all your amazing information through looking around on the Internet. So I figured I’d join and get a little info. I have a Maytag A408. Recently it stopped adding hot water (cold cycle still working perfectly) so I’ve realised that it is something to do with the water valve mechanism. Apparently this is something that is easily repaired. The other problem is that the button is stuck on extra large load. That would be the last button on the right hand side of the machine. Looking for any information that you might like to share about how I could fix this machine. I was thinking about getting a new machine either the Maytag residential commercial or the new Speed Queen. But with some research I got totally stopped in my tracks. I really need to have hot-Hot water which eliminates the Maytag residential commercial. And the new Speed Queen just swishes the fabrics around in a way that doesn’t really clean them. So now I really want to fix up this old Maytag A408. Any ideas or suggestions? I also have another vintage Whirlpool machine which I will look up the model number and get back to you later for info about that one. I think your picture galleries are amazing! What a really cool hobby this is. Love what you’re all doing here.
