Found this washer on an ad that read "maytag washer-needs repair". Went to pick it up yesterday and the old man who owned it said it was 13 years old and started making a squealing noise recently so they decided to just get a new washer. He sold it to me for just $25! As I suspected, it needs a new pump. I am just going to take the pump off of my old performs machine and use it on this one since they are interchangeable. I can't believe the condition it is in for being 13 years old. When I picked it up the blue protective tape was still on the console. It looks like a brand new machine!
Even more surprisingly, when I took the front off there was not a mark to be seen. All I noticed were then white shavings from the snubber, which I will replace as well. I am planning to put this machine in my downstairs laundry (which I have yet to build) along with my Neptune 5500 dryer. It's basically matching minus the electronic controls. It is model MAV9501EWQ. with a stainless steel drum and Automatic Temperature Control. Energy star certified. In bisque color. This was the top of the line model back when Atlantis washers were still in production. Very rare you would find a machine like this in immaculate condition.
