Washing away

The Maytag way!

Can anyone tell me

If there is supposed to be a cover over the tub light? The light was burnt out, however, when I reached my hand up there, I could feel the light bulb.
What type bulb do these machines take?
Obviously, the back panel lights up just fine.
Also has the chrome strip on the front. I was told that there was a matching dryer, but it died years ago. Next to it sits a brown panel BOL...just a push to start switch.
Can't wait to get this new Maytag.

Yes there should be a plastic "lens"....

... in the opening in the tub ring. I can take a photo of the one in my "new" (well, new to me) A700 if you like.

Is this the lens cover?

The part is NLA on repair clinic. Any ideas where to get one?

Gary,

Take the front cover off and look around inside. It more than likely rattled itself off and fell to the bottom of the cabinet. That's where I found mine.

Good Luck!

Patrick

Thanks. Will do that tomorrow when I get the machine.
Is the light bulb a fairly common one?

 

[pdub]

yes, you should be able to find it no problem.

i don't have the part # or i'd give it to you but take the old one out and go to a lighting store and you'll find it.

best of luck and fun with your new machine!

Awesome find. Nothing like a good 806 to wash the dirt away.

Have a good one,
James

Vite! Depeche toi!

You are coming home with me! Get in the truck and stay quiet.

 

[toggleswitch2]

Let's get you inside and cleaned up. Don't touch anything until you sparkle!

 

[toggleswitch2]

Ready for the operation, doctor!

 

[toggleswitch2]

Let there be light. And so it was.

Nice chome strip. Flash me!

What was your name again?

AH... Maytag A806

 

[toggleswitch2]

and when she is naughty it's "Little Miss Sunshine&

Ce n'est pas propre, mais ne pas mauvais.

It's nto clean, but not too bad!

You will note "Sunshine" --her offical name-- is on "Magic Sliders" for eas of mobility.
