be still my heart
The model number is LAT9904AAW. I didn't realize the dark control panel only has 3 speed combinations. A 4 speed selector is much better. I use that speed combo often.

Probably would need to pull the motor as well since this mod
Umm, not quite Dan. If that's how you "look" at it, the A712 is 4-speed also. The 4-speed refers to the 4-speed combos of N/N, N/S, S/N, and S/S agitation & spin speeds.

the Gentle-Fast setting that is and "9900 control panel SAME"...I mean the same.

The results are in!
Surprisingly, the smaller load performed better than I would have thought. I included the entire first spin cycle so you get an idea how the spray rinse acts. The rinse cycle gives a clearer picture of rollover due to the lack of suds, however, the extra items I included during the wash cycle clearly teeters the load on the verge of being overloaded.

That is an AWESOME video. The A712 uses much more water than I expected for the SMALL setting. That isn't an extremely small load. It looks like you add 5 more cloths and everything would still turnover and be tossed through the water.
Does your A806 use as much water for small or less?
Your (7' x 8') fleece blanket video is cool also. I see that the tub is big because it looks like you can add a queen size sheet set to the load.
I am definitely getting an A712 washer. And a Digital A9900 if I can program GENTLE-SLOW and GENTLE-FAST to the delicate cycles. Or, the Digital A9904.
Thanks alot for the video. I really apprciate it.

Thanks for the vid. Haven't seen a Helical Drive Maytag operate on Small in 10 years, and that brings back memories.
Have a good one,

Swapping
Qsd-dan, do you think this LAT9806AAW control panel can be a direct swap with the A712?

Well, I have raised the overall water level buy a 1/2" or so (water level even with the bottom of the lint filter), in order to wash large blankets and the couch covers on a 3 week basis.
"Does your A806 use as much water for small or less?"
Haven't tried it yet, but I'd imagine the water level will be higher as the levels are on the higher end of each load size (if that makes sense).
Last night I finally got 806 washer #4 unloaded from the truck and my OCD kicked into high gear, so I ended up digging out the digital calipers out and spent a few hours making very tedious adjustments. I'll see if I have time to get it hooked up tomorrow for some test runs.

Here's a 712 for $80 for the west coast guys.

A little hard to tell by the pic, but this looks like a 712 set.

raised the overall water level by a 1/2
Qsd-dan, I thought so it seemed high. Not a mechanical guy, what are the "digital calipers" and what "very tedious adjustments".
I hope RCD or someone else can "chime in on the answer" of whether that swap would be possible. I liked the idea of having a longer wash time, double wash cycle, extra long spin, hand washable cycle and the "MINI" water level setting for tiny washloads.
Please let me know when and if you come across more A712's on the east coast, closer to New York.

Qsd-dan, does that stand for RedCarpetDrew? I hope he checks out the thread and give input about the LAT-A712 control panel top SWAP. Or any one with expert advise.
