Well, now that I have a wringer workin in the laundry room, I have raise the bar and am starting on my first automatic restoration. Luckily it is a simple yet BEAUTIFUL Maytag that previously belonged to my aunt. She knew that I wanted it and when it started to leak she decided to give it to me. (YAY!!!) It is an A208S (Sudsaver!!!) and well, the first step besides cleaning is to get the front panel off so I can have easy access to everything right? Well, I have removed the bolts and it sways kinda like a doggy door, but it won't budge!!! It won't go down or out! What do I do?

YAY!!! I got the front off and the top and looked through and ran it a few times. I found 2 possibly 3 problems so far... 1.) The water level switch does not work right, so it just fills and fills until I press the different buttons a few times, then it seems fine (kinda) so that will need to be replaced. 2.) The brake SCREECHES when it stops, I can hear it echo in our neighborhood (machine outside currently) and I live out in the country and am surrounded by farms! (What do I do to fix this?) Possible 3rd.) When I change it to "save suds" it makes a very loud almost buzzing sound as it pumps. (Is it supposed to do that?) Any help is greatly appreciated, pics will come eventualy when I get the chance to clean the machine.
