Exactly like grandmas 806 :) Then the dumb bitch left the 806 set when she moved in 2003 because she wanted a white colored set. I warned her, but she had to learn the hard way (MUCH complaining about destroyed clothes not coming clean in the new Kenmore DD immediately followed). Everything was original on both those machines, all the way down to the belts. GRRRR!!!

Hey Darrel, my knob is not original because as Ben says about the other one "it's ugly as sin". |

If there is supposed to be a cover over the tub light? The light was burnt out, however, when I reached my hand up there, I could feel the light bulb. What type bulb do these machines take? Obviously, the back panel lights up just fine. Also has the chrome strip on the front. I was told that there was a matching dryer, but it died years ago. Next to it sits a brown panel BOL...just a push to start switch. Can't wait to get this new Maytag. |

Another look. 24 expected, 17 delivered. Luckily it's the thick kind and not the thin version. Regardless, it does it's job well. Mounting brackets take up the extra space. |

They're Great. I have them under my 1-18,Speed Queen, Whirlpool and Maytag. They make for a quick change over. I even have them on the feet of my built in KitchenAids. Makes swapping them out a breeze. What a Beautiful Machine you have found. There is something soothing about the sound of a Maytag Running. Good Luck with that Beauty. Eddie |

Congrats on the great washer. If you wanted light, why didn't you try to put one of those halogen lights from the torchiere lamps in it? It'd kill two birds with one stone here: plenty of light and you'd end up with your 'hi-temp' wash for the whites. It'd also do your tan some good too. HEY! Bonus! LOL Still, that is a great model and the only thing better would be the matching dryer and those were common enough that one will show up. That's the only draw back with my new wringer: no matching dryer... :^) RCD |

Actually the WD-40 lubricant made it worse! I think it dissovled the grease that is supposed to be on the motor carriage/trolley/slide! Definitely a fun machine! |

Kit came with two belts, rollers and springs. Put on the new belts.....agitation still slow. Called the appliance repair store. Told me the tension was off(worked fine when the motor was pulled back). Told me an old trick years ago was to stretch one of the springs onto the grey frame. Should make the agitation good again. Tried that and it worked perfectly. This weekend, will try to change the springs. |
