Maytag Wringer E2LS

Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Nice washer. I like the soft blue and stainless steel together.
I just took my wringer to the dump yesterday.I don't think it wanted to go. It sat in the front seat overnight and leaked oil all over the seat.
And yes, you can fit a round wringer washer in the front seat of a Lumina if you recline the seat back flat.
When I pulled up at the dumping station the guy couldn't believe I got it in there.
Anybody know how to get oil off of material?
 
Hey Lyle, you have a very nice E2LS there! Looks pristine. Also love that you have the conventional lint filter agitator for it with the fill line right along the top filter inlet hole. Too cool.

Let us know what the serial number is that is stamped on the back side of the crown so we can tell what month and year it was made.

Thanks for posting!

Wow, Lyle ... that agitator is really nice in there!!

Do you like that agitator over the regular one? That particular version of the lint filter is quite effective in Maytag's classic automatics. The stainless steel does a really fine job in removing lint; much nicer than the poly ones that were made in the mid 1960's. I'm sure expense was a factor in switching to poly.

Those machines really churn up the suds with Tide, don't they? I love it and I feel like everything gets so clean! Not that you need the suds to get things clean, but it sure is a lot more fun that way, isn't it? :-)

Did you bypass your safety pedal? I sure have on mine; it is much easier that way. However, the safety pedal is great for wringing large items.

You gotta love the Maytag Conventional; Maytag sure knew what they were doing when they created those machines!!

Hey Geoff

WOW!! What a beauty you have there!

The agitator that I have was an option in the machine when my parents bought it. I confirmed that with my mother. I love it because of the lint filter. It does do a great job in taking lint out.

One thing that I notice with the Tide is that there is always a residue under the agitator when I drain the water out. Its like some of it doesn't disovle.

I have been trying to find a new goose neck for the end of the drain hose. The orginial one coroded and I took it off.

I love the bright new shiny tub you have. Seems like bleach and detergents always spot them and I have tried many different types of "polishes" to get it shiny again but to no avail.

I would love to see pics of the other new machine you have. Do you use any of them?

I have been trying to find either a Kenmore Lady Vista or a Whirpool with the Surgilator agitator and the big open wringer.
 
I honestly don't think I would know how to run one of these things. Once the soapy water agaitation is done, then what do you do with the clothes? Do you wring them over the laundry tub or the machine? And what about rinsing? Back in the machine with fresh water and then re-wring them?
