Hello: I'm extremely happy with my vintage Maytags, an A108 washer and a DE608 dryer. However, the washer is a bit noisier than I'd like, and I think it's correctable. The basic problem is a brief period of squeaking as it goes into spin. I think new belts will help (there is absolutely no telling how old the current ones are; these machines weren't actually abused, but they sure as shootin' weren't coddled, either). But while I'm under the machine, and inside it, are there any parts that should get lubed. If so, with what? Are there pads that should get replaced? Anything else? I'm a believer in doing it right and doing it once, so any help on getting things back in really great shape would be appreciated. I've already benefitted in so many ways from everyone's advice- I wouldn't have even attempted to own vintage machines if I didn't have youse guys as a resource! Thanks in advance! | ||

Try the new belts(ONLY Maytag genuine) first. Then talk about the damper pads in my experience. Good luck. | ||
