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. B in B

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. B in B

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.

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. B in B

Risk vs. reward. It's a risk we are willing to take.  | ||

Steve: Maybe my machine goes off balance because I'm off balance. Like washer, like owner. :-) We need to have a wash-in soon. B in B | ||

I remember...
when I was quite young and these same model Maytags were being sold. I always liked walking around and looking at all the washers. This was also back when people actually had jobs working in the appliance dept. This gentleman demonstrated for me how a Maytag would never go unbalanced. He took a couple of phonebooks and put them on one side of the tub and started it up. Sure enough it was up to speed in less than a minute and not a sound. I was always impressed by that. Jon | ||

I've always found Maytags to go off balance fairly often, more often than a Filter-Flo or Speed Queen. The nice thing is how they shut off before any clunks of thunks. And no annoying buzzer. Bobby in Boston | ||
