Maytag Question

[westytoploader]

Actually, the wringer washer agitator will NOT work in Maytag automatics due to the longer shaft length. I have a turquoise wringer agitator, and even after I removed the plastic ring from the base, it still would not fit flush with the tub in both the Dependable Care and '55 AMP. The narrow-post Gyratator in the Highlanders (such as the one on eBay) was meant for automatic use as it has a higher indentation in the base, before the spline, to accomodate the longer shaft.

Toggle opened her up and scrubbed her down inside and out.
And she purrs like a kitten.

Non-corkscrew, non dual-action agitator.

Turnover is fabulous!

A mini wash-in......Yay!

My mum has a similar model!

I bought an Aussie version of a similar model for my mum in May 1994 and it has run without fault all these years.

Maytag!

Gary,
Actually this Maytag is a beauty. Best of Luck with it.

Gary, another great catch! I have that exact same large-capacity PowerFlex agitator that I tried in my '55. Surprisingly enough, it wasn't as anemic at 54 OPM as I thought...

Seee, Gary? Do NOT listen to the Whirlpool faction when it comes to the exclusive Gyrafoam wash action. they dont understand it. they will mislead and decieve you! dont forget to buy an extra turquoise agit for double the fun!

Gary, beautiful machine, congratulations. It's a pretty machine.

Ken, would you have the page of the TOL washers also? I would love to see a close up of the TOL dial model, I guess the version just below the electronic one.

 

[cehalstead]

a great machine!

My sister has the two speed version of that machine! It's a great one. Hers is 13 yrs old and has not had any repairs....

Ken, would you have the page of the TOL washers also? I woul

Yeah, I do have that page and as soon as I can find it I'll scan it and post it. That machine you're talking about is the machine I WANTED to buy and SHOULD HAVE bought, but, in a moment of weakness, I went for the model right underneath it (without the buttons and extra choices)because my local dealer had it in stock and was offering it at a special price. It's a great machine and is still going strong, but I know myself better than that, always go for more buttons.

Congratulations Gary, that's probably one of the last great Maytags built. You will, however, be impressed with how much better the rollover is with the old turquoise agitator in it.

Thanks for all the kind words

It was exciting to get a 'real' Maytag. I guess I got bitten by the 'Maytag bug' while visiting Tucson. Now I can't stop.

Notice by the water level switch that is says 'Dependable Care'.

Here is the manual:

I'd say the Maytag bug has bitten

Now it's time to find a classic 63-OPM machine, such as an 06 or 08-series...

Austin

On my machine with the orbital transmission, what is the OPM's?

 

[westytoploader]

I believe it is 160 or thereabouts on Normal speed. A tad bit slower than a DD Whirly-Kenmore, which is 180.

Here are the TOL's:

 

[gansky1]

I've seen the TOL models a few times behind bLowes, picked up one nice looking machine and resold it. Only have seen the electronic versions in the stores - would love to find one to play with though...

We need to find a machine like this for member LLMaytag in Los Angeles. He is currently suffering horribly with a DD WP.
