More New Maytag Additions — and so Pretty in Pink!

[washerlover]

Just picked up this 1959 pair this weekend!  And the washer has a suds return cycle — never had one before.  The washer makes all the right noises, but no spin.  Haven’t tried a water test yet but need to get in there and really give both machines a once-over.  As you can see, the dryer needs a little help with the console — anyone happen to have a spare glass console piece kicking around?

 

Anyway, another “retirement” project for sure...but just couldn’t pass up these beauties!

Very nice!  Congratulations!

Wow Todd, you're closing in on being wash-in ready!

Very good find - the black and copper trims made these pop.

 

You are wash-in ready, your washer-garden is in full bloom.

A beautiful set, Todd; congratulations! The 1959 era is my favorite—love the simplicity of the single-cycle dial and the agitator/lint filter cap. This is was the first automatic Maytag I saw in action as a kid. Think I jammed a whittled down paint-stirring stick behind the raised lid to bypass the lid switch. So quiet compared to our 1960 Kenmore, and built like a tank.

Todd,

Congratulations on a great addition to your collection!  Always fun to find a pair in something other than white.  How about some air time for the Filter Flo pair in the next row?

Hi Lawrence,

 

Thank you for your message.  

 

The Filter-Flo set isn’t currently hooked up.  The lint filter flow hose is clogged and I haven’t had time to fix it.  The set is a little rough — it was truly loved by its previous owner.  The dryer console is a little worse for wear and I plan to post the dryer on this site if anyone wants it, they can have it.  Not a fan of those GE dryers.  They ran way too hot.

Wow, you've been busy.  What a collection. You have something in nearly every appliance color.  Awesome !

They are gorgeous Todd!  Glad you were able to save them! 

 

The no-spin condition may be due to a bad motor capacitor - if so, this an easy fix. 

 

[washerlover]

Yeah, I guess I have every color of machine except Coppertone.  Still looking for that to replace my ‘64 Kenmore Coppertone set I lost in the wildfire of 2015...and of course there’s Frigidaire Poppy Red..!

Wow!!  Cool set!  You're certainly on a roll!   

 

Congrats on all the great finds and have fun with them!   Hope you find a Coppertone set soon.
