maytag portable washer

[loon]

model #H A 50 : this is a square washer with a spinner side also, two knobs on the right side top, inside knob says, wash/drain, you can turn it then the other setting i cant read because it is broken(chunk Missing) where it said ? , the other knob outer has the settings on it like delicate ect... and 1 thru 5 on the 5 it only last for 5 min or somewhere about there its yellow in color( like the gold tone)
just wondering if there might be a manual on line or if someone might have one that could tell me more about it? all information very much appreciated,Thanks Lantz

Hi Lantz ... the other setting on the knob says "Spin/Drain" and your machine should always be on this setting except when you are draining the wash tub. If you have it set for "Wash/Drain", the water will all come out of your wash tub.

These are nice machines and do a fine job of cleaning. You really should use HE detergent (heaven forbid) in them as they suds quite a bit and easily create a suds lock in the spinner. Use about 1/4 of the amount recommended; usually just a tablespoon or two ... enough to clean, however.

The following link should give you an idea on how to use these machines.

Make sure you fill with water up to the bottom of the black bar in the wash tub. Don't overload the spinner, either.
