A906 pair

[frontaloadotmy]

What a haul

Can't wait to see the insides. Simply load the machines,
add detergent, softener and bleach and select and start the cycle with the touch of one button! Beautiful!!

Glenn, these are beautiful! Great work on getting in to buy them first as well, it paid off!

Give RJ a big hug from all of us - he deserves it!!

Lucky You!!

What nice machines. I'm sure you will really enjoy them. Be careful moving them so they don't get scratched or damaged. Don't tip the washer forward otherwise the inner tub will dent the front panel. (I learned that the hard way)

Glenn,

This is fantastic news! Congrats - another find of the year! It is hard to believe that they are coppertone, let alone a set of A906's.

The tub light is probably burnt out - not a problem. Head to L*we's or Menards and pick up a 15w and a 25w 120v double pole bayonet bulbs. It calls out for a 10w, but I tried the 15 and the 25, and perfered the extra light of the 25w bulb in my A806.

This is awesome!

A beautiful pair! Congrats! I've always wondered about the Partial load buttons. What level does it fill to on those cycles?

 

[appnut]

Eugene, it fills to the equivalent of "Medium" on the washers that have water level buttons. Only whites & color cottons have patial load settings. The rest are full water level fill automatically. You can't adjust water level otherwise.

 

[DADoES]

The 'tags are home.

Her hubby is a little conflubergasted that somebody collects 'old' machines, but he'll get over it. She noticed the pics being snapped the other day, figured somehow it was to share online. She's pleased the machines went to someone who appreciates them.

 

[Maytagmom]

Congrats Glen! Nice set

Sooo....is there another Texas wash-in, in the near future?

allrightythen....LOL ;-)

 

[swestoyz]

Fantastic News!

This is a great day for all! Another 906 set rescued! Glenn - I know that look from the husband. I usually just smile and walk away with the goods =)

[Maytagmom]

Congrats Glenn!

Nice set! I'm rather nostalgic for Coppertones, too.

Are you going to show these off soon?
*hint* Wash-In

Allrightythen ;0)

LOL

 

[DADoES]

I don't have a way to run the dryer in my garage, no 220V outlet. The washer can be run, with cold water (Tide Coldwater! ;-) ). However .... I'm pondering on whether to put the 'tags in the house for a while. I really don't wanna move out my DEGX1 'cause I like it too much, so maybe just the washer could come inside ...

Carol and Barry, perhaps a visitation is on the horizon. And rest of the 'local' folk, too, of course. (Not likely anybody would make a long-distance run just to see a couple old 'tags, hehe.)

 

[westytoploader]

WOOHOO!!!!! Glad they're home!

I agree...I'd keep the DEGX1, but you definitely need to try the A906 for a while!!

Time for us to head out to EC again...YAY!

 

[westytoploader]

And I forgot to ask...does this particular machine have the rapid-advance timer and the "override" button? Inquiring minds want to know, before looking ;-)

 

[DADoES]

Rapid-advance, check. Can't have pushbutton start, ala KitchenAid, without it.

Service/override/advance button ... I'm assuming so, but I haven't yet looked for it.

Lots to investigate.

Anybody with service manuals for this pair feel like coughing up a copy?

 

[swestoyz]

Repair Manual

Glenn, I'll be sending you an email....

Ben

 

[gansky1]

I have the Maytag Pushbutton washer service manual, I may have extra copies or can copy it for you. Other than the controls and off-balance mechanism/switch, the washer is really the same as any other Maytag.

 

[DADoES]

Greg, yes, but the controls are the fun part!

 

[southernmdgeguy]

Awsome grab there, I would love to see how those work. Congrats!

 

[gansky1]

Those controls are the BEST part!!! ;-)

 

[westtexman]

Another trip to El Campo????

I'm in! Can't WAIT to see the new Maytags!

Bryan

 

[Maytagmom]

I'm in, Glenn.

It would be wonderful to make a short little day trip out there. We could do a lunch that day too.
Keep us informed.

[appnut]

If my cheuffer will come pick me up again, I'm in.

 

[mayken4now]
