Gary That would be pretty much similar to the dependable care you just bought... My mom has a washer like that, vintage 1996 | ||

I bet it's from 1995, 1 year after this generation of Dependable Care models. I have the LAT9624, two speed, all dials, Quiet-Plus, bleach dispenser. I would imagine the 8305 is a Super-Capacity Fabric-Matic (like the one on the bottom, with a bleach dispenser). I replaced the newer white agitator with the old turquoise power-fin agitator because I didn't want to send all of that lint into my septic system. As a bonus it really improved the washing performance of the machine. They're interchangeable--you can even use an old turquoise wringer agitator on these machines. I always thought it was kind of neat how the agitator on a Maytag could disappear on large loads.

Hi Gary, Yes you can replace the corkscrew agitator with this "st8" vane one, but turnover will not be as good. | ||

Yes, that will work as well. That is the original blue agitator that was used when the orbital tranny was introduced. | ||

Gary, another great catch! I have that exact same large-capacity PowerFlex agitator that I tried in my '55. Surprisingly enough, it wasn't as anemic at 54 OPM as I thought... | ||

Ken, would you have the page of the TOL washers also? I woul
Yeah, I do have that page and as soon as I can find it I'll scan it and post it. That machine you're talking about is the machine I WANTED to buy and SHOULD HAVE bought, but, in a moment of weakness, I went for the model right underneath it (without the buttons and extra choices)because my local dealer had it in stock and was offering it at a special price. It's a great machine and is still going strong, but I know myself better than that, always go for more buttons. Congratulations Gary, that's probably one of the last great Maytags built. You will, however, be impressed with how much better the rollover is with the old turquoise agitator in it. | ||

Thanks for all the kind words
It was exciting to get a 'real' Maytag. I guess I got bitten by the 'Maytag bug' while visiting Tucson. Now I can't stop. Notice by the water level switch that is says 'Dependable Care'. Here is the manual: CLICK HERE TO GO TO gadgetgary's LINK | ||

I'd say the Maytag bug has bitten Now it's time to find a classic 63-OPM machine, such as an 06 or 08-series... | ||

I believe it is 160 or thereabouts on Normal speed. A tad bit slower than a DD Whirly-Kenmore, which is 180. | ||
