Help with model numbers

[luxflairguy]

Guys! From the Craiglist link below, can you tell me what the model #'s are for these machines and are they the top models for this line. I can handle, ( I think), the harvest gold.
Thanks!
Greg

Yes they are TOL. the washer even has buttons for 2nd rinse and the dryer is electronic dry control with optoinal press care or regular and more dry options. I'm pretty sure this is the very first in the "new" series after the center dials. could be a 710 model.

 

[bajaespuma]

I think these were models from the first year after Maytag abandoned the center dial. I'd grab these if I were closer.

 

[appnut]

Ken any further information on these models, it looks like from some sort of brochure or advertisement.

Those are 810's. The washer is most loaded Helical washer Maytag ever manufactured (noticed I said helical and not orbital). The 810 dryer is loaded with more options than the 712.

"the washer even has buttons for 2nd rinse"

Nope, the 2 far left buttons were options to bypass or include the soak cycle.

Washer color

I think the maytag pair is almond i don't think there were any harvest or avocado or copper-tone maytag laundry appliances made after the 06 .

 

[lebron]

Love the TOL Tags but

wasn't there a thread awhile back that showed a bunch of different colored maytags, newer ones like these, much to everyone's surprise?

 

[qsd-dan]

I believe white, almond, and harvest wheat were the only available colors for the 10-12 series machines.

I would LOVE to have this washer. Qsd-dan, if you come across A810 washer please post it as well. When you have the spare time. BTW, when were the 810's first produced?

 

[qsd-dan]

when were the 810's first produced?

1980

Similar Maytags

I'm heading out this morning to pick up a similar pair of Maytags. They're white and are probably a level below this pair; washer does not have the left-most pair of buttons and the dryer appears to have all the same options but is automatic (not electronic) dry. The consoles are a woodgrain, not solid brown and the trim is a bronze tone. I'll post pics when I get them home.

Water usage in charts above

If the 510, 610, 710, and 810 are all the same large capacity tubs, why do the 710 & 810 use 2 gallons more water for comparable water level vs. the 510 and 610?

Nice score there, Lawrence!

Lawrence

Great pair.
Congrats.
Can you show a close-up shot of the washer and dryer control panels?

Thanks

 

[appnut]

I have to admit, the 710 was the first Maytag I really liked and wanted. Since I grew up being trained the "Kenmore" way, every machine should have N/N, N/S, and S/S speed combos. And it ircked me to no end that you either had the two speed combo or 4-speed combo and nothing in between for the center dial tags. . The 710 was my knight in shining armor. And to my knowledge, this was the only time after the center dial tags were discontinued, this arrangement was offered. Don't believe it existed on the 12 series.

Nice 10 Series

Nice machines Lawrence

Here's the front page to the 10 Series Dryer brochure showing the Harvest Gold....always liked it in this series. Doesn't somebody in the club have a 10 Series pair in Harvest Gold?

Cheers

Thanks for the pics

Leon:

What are the buttons on the dryer panel next to the main dial? Is that a cycle signal off/on?

Harvest Gold 1980s MT washers&dryers

I stand corrected MT must have had HG in the 1980s models We called the new style the montgomery wards look because maytag lost thier great style .I was still in maytag sales during this time the HG color didn't last long MT was about the to first drop it. Ironically it took Whirlpool to bring some classic style to the Maytag name along with much better reliability.

 

[appnut]

Gary, that's an infinite signal level slide switch like I have on my Dependable Care; then there's the 3 temp buttons, then press care on or off, and start button--all from R to L.

 

[gadgetgary]

Thanks Bob

But on the gold dryer in the picture, is the first button next to the main dial....Press Care on/off?

The Panel Buttons

When did they go from white buttons to brown buttons? The majority of this style machine that I have seen all have brown on brown rather than the white buttons. I'm assuming the white buttons are from the earlier versions of this panel style.

 

[qsd-dan]

Model: A710

June of '83

Model: DE610

April of '83

"When did they go from white buttons to brown buttons"

Late '84/early '85

"I'm assuming the white buttons are from the earlier versions of this panel style."

Correct.
