Pics of Bobby's new Maytag

[bobbyderegis]

Well, the A712 went in yesterday without a hitch. The kitchen looked more like a Maytag test site:
Bobby in Boston

I took the lid off when I was cleaning and polishing it. There is an "S" stamped on the back of the lid. I have never seen this on the older models.

The pulley and underside needed a little attention. Lint galore!

The new couple together:

The first wash: (at least in my house!)

The next few shots are of the spin. This machine has a little faster acceleration than my others. The water splashes over the top. The tub is empty and up to full rpm's in less than 60 seconds.

Half empty (or full)

Full spin with spray rinse:

Neat freeze frame of the spray rinse:

Rinse. Very clear rinse water, cold.

Here is a shot of the lint filter removed with rinse water pouring into the barrel of the agitator. A foolproof lint collector, no pump or hoses to go bad.

Lint collected from this wash load:

One problem with this model is that the tub was always a little off center after each spin. There is supposed to be 1/4" overhang on the back. This was to the side as shown:

Loosening this spring support bolt and tightening the opposite got the proper balance.

Enjoy your new 'Tag'. I have the same version in white.

What type detergent did you use, and, did you rinse the clothes twice to get rid of the detergent?

Steve and I defeated the lid switch on the Mutt this weekend. Was very easy to do.
