Push button something or other washer San Diego

Dark Color Button set - speaking of

these aren't pictured, and I'm guessing that the washer has a suds-saver button, not pictured in the 12 series brochures…can anyone identify these?

The washer looks like a A612S and the dryer looks like a 712.

Super32 - dryer a 712?

I thought so, too - a sudsaver switch, but the dryer a 712…? It has six buttons, far left is a start button(I think) and the other slider control(?) or button to the right of the cluster? I don't see a 712 in the brochure matching that panel.

The white/light buttons seem to kind of discolor, turn yellow, just like the plastic parts of modern white appliances. And that tends to look like almond, bisque.  Have a friend whose kitchen has all white appliances and every plastic part has "yellowed".  It looks like white with almond accents and looks horrible.  And I can't stand all stainless steel.  So black it is for me.  No yellowed white plastic showing.

3-button dryer

Phil, that's an electronic dry control dryer.  The slider switch is for variable buzzer/signal loudness.  First time Maytag got smart and offered being able to do something with that buzzer if you didn't want it on.  One bank of 3 but5tons is for air, delicate and regular temps.  The other bank is for degree of dryness from the electronic sensor--essentially less dry, normal dry, and more dry.  The most user-friendly/flexible dryer Maytag offered at the time as far as I'm concerned.

Bob -

I thought SO! But I couldn't find a photo in the brochure of it. I took a double-take when I glance, thinking it was a washer with all those buttons, at first.

Although those are not the best pictures, I am guessing the washer is a 612 and dryer is the top of the line 713 from what I can tell in my old brochure.

Bob:

I hear you about yellowed plastic on white-on-white appliances!

For me, the perfect modern-day combination, where plastic must be used for cost reasons, was black handles, etc., on white. I know a lot of people feel it's a dated look now, but at least the trim didn't yellow.

Don't know why white trim on newer appliances tends to go yellow, while some much older plastic parts stay their original shade. For example, the knobs on my '53 Westinghouse range are still a bright white. I also noticed the white control knobs on the church's Westinghouse roasters have not discolored in 50+ years.

I called the guy..

It s an 810. The connection wasn't great but I think he said LA810, the 810 part I am sure about.
