Well folks, after much trial and tribulation tonight, my A212S is home. Bought from an appliance store with warranty (amazing right?! It’s a 1984 machine after all!) and they have had a time this week with the Sud Saver portion. Rest of the machine works great. Turns out, SS needs a solenoid. If anybody has a link on one of those, I would be forever indebted. Otherwise… machine works fabulously! I’ve been watching for a Sud Saver but have been too nervous to pull the trigger on used via individuals (ended up with duds too many times!) but I called around and found this place which had my machine in their warehouse. Excited to use it, wanted something good and reliable for a while and finally found it.
Worked all fine (minus SS) in shop, but when they got here it started leaking like a sieve. Loose pipe. Took a while but they got it. Now I’m just on the lookout for a new solenoid for the sud saver. Also need to get a wash tub and adjust my setup tomorrow (I’m used to my little portable Inglis!) I will say I am oh so happy to move up into the “full size” vintage machines. I love my little portable but she needs service again so away she went after they finished with the Maytag. Here’s some photos… this machine is beautiful and very clean!
