I just purchased these two matching units, Maytag model A208 and DE408. The gentleman who sold them to me was in the right place and time, and the old woman who they belonged to was going to have them hauled away to the dump. She was the original owner and lived in a Streng Brothers community here in Sacramento CA. Streng bros built housing tracts that are very similar to Eichler homes. These are both in tremendous shape and functional. I plan on using them for all my laundry, replacing the new LG HE front loaders which I can’t stand using. My biggest concern is putting more wear and tear on them, being that they’re most likely all original. What parts should I look at replacing and what maintenance items should I check for? I have run 3 loads through them so far to check out all the functions still work. When I moved them I noticed the bottom of the cabinet had a build up of yellow grease around the edges, so I know some mechanics are leaking internally. Any help and direction is greatly appreciated!
