It has the smaller door, one way you can tell it's the older HOH. The next generation, like Kevin's, has the larger door.

Did a cold wash automatically give a cold rinse, or can you
James, on the 806... with the separate buttons for "cold rinse" or "warm rinse"... YES you can have a COLD wash with a WARM rinse!! I tried it and it will work!

Hey Matt - I just noticed the serial numbers. The washer wouldn't have come from the factory with a lighted tub. If by chance it does I suspect that someone added it then at a later date.
Dryer - September of 1975
Washer - October of 1975
You are right Scott, these really are at the very end of the HOH run. Just a few months later the Big Load came out.

Now wait a minute, Kidz!
Just out of curiosity I went into the basement to check out an old 806 washer that I have in storage. It looks identical to the ones posted with the gold control panel, but has a tub light. It is very early in production due to the bleach dispenser that only says "bleach", not "liquid beach only", and the water level buttons have "normal" and "large", not "large load" and "extra large load". If memory serves me right, only the very early gold panel 806's were available in suds saver models. Everythingold's 806 tub light must be legit!

Here's the pics of the poor A806
The console with worn gold paint and faded buttons. I threaten anyone with their life if they use Spray & Wash or bleach near my good ones!

The interior tub light covered in scale, but the bulb is good!

Yep - August of 1975. I'll need to go back to the doctrine one of these days to confirm the date that they gave the tub light the pink slip. We are seeing a trend here.
Too bad Bobby - that was a beautiful washer in its day!

Check the 1976 brochure, before the almond color was introduced. I think the 806 still had a tub light at that point.
Harvestgold:
Amen!

TUB LIGHTS!!!!!!!
Bobby & Ben,
WOW, it's really something to see a tub light on a gold panel 806 like this! From what I've read in various threads on the site I was under the impression Maytag stopped the tub light in 1973 - 1974.
Ben, you say this machine (W/tub light) was built in August of '75... well the white A806 I just sold was built (according to Ben) in December 1975 and it did NOT have a tub light! The photo is the ID plate off the 806 I just sold.
VERY INTERESTING!!!
Now the next question is did Maytag put tub lights in ALL 806's until they stopped or was it a random thing?

Hey Kevin - thanks for posting your serial tag! This is very good info. I'll have to check the Let's Talk Service books. I *think* I have most of the 1975 year to see what it says. Maybe they made the change sometime between October and December in '75? Thankfully changes like these were documented in the service lit.

Could it be that the factory used up all the tub covers with light openings so that some of the earlier gold panel 806's had tub lights and some didn't? Geoff Delp, send your help!

Gold Trim
Hi Bobby Just a suggestion... my moms gold was coming off of her dryer and for some reason she had or I had found a gold metallic pen that was a rattle pen that you shook the paint to mix it. It had a fiber tapered end that i used more than once to cover the missing paint and it worked awsum for making them look new again. Not sure if they still around but it might be worth looking into if you to make them look sweet again.
Hope this helps.

PS I was black with gold lettering if I remember correctly and was about the diameter of a standard Sharpie only longer. Maybe an Art Store would have one
