I'm always surprised at how many of these have survived with the sales stickers intact.

Looks to be in great shape, save for the bottom half of the cabinet. I wonder if it was in a basement that flooded? (The map location on the Craigslist posting is right on the bank of a lake...)

No visible wear on the buttons either... perhaps a vacation home?

suds return

How do you get the wash water back into the machine? All the non-timed fill Maytags I have known have a "suds return" setting on the dial right before the beginning of the wash portion of the cycle. I see the "drain suds" and "save suds" buttons on the machine - I assume they work the same as on other Maytags, say the 142S.

Great question!

I was wondering the same thing....

since this is a Time Fill, as in only filling during that part of the cycle selection.....for Suds Return, willing to bet you would put the timer into the 'WASH' portion of the dial, for agitation only, hence suds returning....

Timed Fill MT Washer With Suds-Saver

Exactly Martin , you just set it to wash and push the suds button and the water in the storage sink will return.
