Maytag A710

[bobbyderegis]

Gary,
where the hell did you find that Frankenstein? The motor and damper, timer knob and model # don't match. I guess it's a Frankentag. It's missing the motor cover, too. Careful of an overflow!

Thats a 510 since it has the 3 cycles and fabricmatic. But when I had a 510 it didnt have the bleach dispenser nor the fabric softener dispenser. And the kicker to me is the tub color..mine was blue not white. That washer is still running after all these years. I had the DE710 dryer. Great set thats for sure. I sold them to my aunt back in the 90's...wish I hadnt but I replaced them with a Kenmore Advantage direct drive washer and a Kenmore dryer...both were the 80 series. Good machines but didnt last that long.
Great save and find.

Since this 'Frankentag' might be disguised as a 710, does anyone have any literature on a 510????

Bobby: The motor shield is on order from repairclinic.com.
Guess we were lucky when we tried the bleach dispenser and the tube was not connected.....No jolts from this machine!

Mike: Since your machine had a blue tub, was it regular capacity as opposed to Xlarge? Maybe the tub was changed in this machine too.

Just ask for them back should she decide to be rid of them....

Literature on a 510

Hi Gary,

I have a brochure on the "10" series washers at home (am at work at the moment)

Should be able to upload a bit later.

Fantastic!

Looks like it cleaned up very nicely!

Congrats!

...Still looking for a 'tag for myself.

I've just got to get these crappy, modern BOL Kenmores out of here!!

Catalogue for Gary

Hey Gary,

Here is the catalogue for this series

The original scans are better, I was getting frustrated when re-sizing trying to get it right. Would be easier to email it to you in its original format methinks.

Cheers
Leon

Great brochure, and awesome washers:

Model A712 - Tested by Consumer Reports in their 1985 - 1988 issues, and was the last to win Maytag top honors.

Model A612 - Neighbor who lived behind me while growing up had that with the matching dryer. (I used to run it while caring for her pets when she would go away. I also used to run my next door neighbors' 1979 Kenmore 80 when I would take care of their dog.)

Model A512 - My sister has one in her basement, which she used until 2000, when she renovated the house, and had a pair of Neptunes installed. She had to have it hooked up again, when the lock on the door to the Neptune broke, and she could not use it.

Have a good one,
James

A710 or A510?

It now has taken a proud place next to the Neptunes of 1997.

A true workhorse, it shows it true colors.

Wash in the 510, an extra rinse in the Neputune and then to the clothesline(or dryer).

And Toggles named that machine

The loveable 'Mutt'.

He(she) joins the matching set of brownies, and the matching set of goldies.

Welcome to a piece of Maytag history!
