I have my own personal Maytag Repairman. Dan's family has been in business in the far Western suburbs of Chicago for many years. They sold Maytags and furniture in what was then a small town appliance and furniture store. It's still there and Dan, the son, does the repairs. I coveted Greg's 906s from the first time I saw them and vowed to get them and put them into my laundry room, moving out a set of Neptunes, which are now in the basement.
Terry was here one weekend and happily doing laundry in the 906s when the water valve gave out and flooded the laundry room and part of the basement below. I called Leonardi's and Dan showed up on my doorstep. I almost fainted when I saw him waving at me and smiling through the side door. When he came in and saw the machines, all he could say was "Wow!" He actually had an original 3-solenoid valve in stock and replaced it. Later he replaced the motor in the dryer. These things are in regular use. Amazing after all these years. Dan calls it a labor of love. It's a good feeling to know that I can keep these things running well with someone who knows how to do it. I had a young repairman over to fix a door switch on the Neptune washer and he walked in the back door and said "I can't work on those!" I said "You are not laying a finger on them, down to the basement!"
Thanks Greg, I love these machines. And yes, my 906 washer has the rapid-advance button on the underside of the back of the control panel. You have to go hunting for it, but it is there.
