Help me identify this Maytag

[stuftrock1]

Ok I am going to go ahead and apologize because I do not have any pictures, but I will do my best to describe it in enough detail for the Maytag experts to be able to easily figure out the model number.

This washer looks like it is mid-late 80's and is a Fabric-Matic large capacity machine. It has the classic PowerFin agitator and thus a Pitman tranny, a white tub, and a bleach dispenser. It has 3 cycles: regular, perm press, and delicate, has 3 temperature selections, and an infinite water level selector.

I hope that is enough to figure out the model number. I do not have access to this machine so I cannot provide any pictures unfortunately.

I would say A512.

212 or 512

I think its a 512. My sister has the same model.

If the one in the picture is a 512 then that's what it is because it looks just like that. What is the difference between a 212 and a 512?

I have an LA512, serial April 1984.

difference between a 212 and a 512?

A212 is small capacity standard tub size.

Agitator will have three holes on the barrel verses four on the A512.

A212 is small capacity standard tub size.

Oh ok then yeah this is definitely a 512.

Thanks for the help guys! I wish I was as knowledgeable with the Maytag lineup as you guys.

I was as knowledgeable with the Maytag lineup

Study up, there will be a quiz later.
