Maytag A608 era

[combo52]

Hi Erin, are you looking to fix yours or looking for another washer ?

 

Unless your outer tub is really badly rusted in at least several spots the current tub may be able to be fixed.

A710 with leaking tub

I hope that (4 years later) Erin found a replacement A710.
I have been scouring the web for such cases.
I am intrigued by the comment from John L., that later tubs may fit the A710.
Because, we also have an A710 (SN 645574 JT) with a tub leak.
I posted it earlier today on this forum –

I have done a bit of wire brushing to remove some rust since that post, and have attached a photo of (what is left of) the offending bleach inlet tube, seen from slightly below. We can see the trail of calcium deposits on the bottom of the tub that have been coming from there. Now I know why so much calcium on top of the plastic motor shield.

Thinking about using epoxy to cobble a tube over the broken stub, maybe capping & giving up on bleach input.

What do you folks think?
