I saw a WU-702 pulled out of a house that Debbie and Bob were renovating; it was right by the dumpster and this was a couple of years before I discovered "Automatic Washer.org" (truly, "The Friends of the Friendless", for appliance people), and learned that it was OK to covet others' used appliances and to even throw them in the back of your wagon and take them home. Never got it; still kicking myself, because I think it's my favorite machine of this model run.

There's just such a good "Maytag-iness" about that model, although the buttons don't make a ton of sense. From what I've read, "Sani Wash" really, should be "Sani Rinse" and "Temp Boost" means the water is heated to 140 F for the wash cycle. I, of course, love all the blue vinyl and the reverse-racking. I think that model also features a Rinse Dispenser, which, I don't care if it's unnecessary with soft water, it's another bell/whistle, thank you.

I liked that these models featured a fan-dry system, but John LeFever and I have both agreed that a dishwasher worth its salt should have the elegance and discretion of a well-designed passive venting system that needs burn no extra electricity and allows the heat and humidity of the automatic cycle to dissipate like sands through the hourglass.

 Ken, absolutely wonderful. Thank you so much for posting this. for some reason, the 702 always fascinated me. The temp boost as used and did assure of 140 degree main wash. From what i discovered, the sani wash option simply turned the heating element on for every water circulation/washing/rinsing period and if anything like later Maytags, kept the heating element on longer during the dry cycle. There was no thermostatic hold for the final rinse. If thee had been, I believe there would have been a specified tempearture point like on the temp boos main wash. Because it wasn't a true sanitize/temp hold function, I pretty much decided against one of these when I endedup with the GE Postscruber 1200 in 1987. | ||

Nice brochure, thanks for scanning.
I've seen so many of the BOL models, they were very popular machines in the price-point around here. Portable versions of that model were also good sellers. There's one on our CL now: CLICK HERE TO GO TO gansky1's LINK on Omaha Craigslist | ||

How 80s are the plates with the black and grey rims and pink flowers, I love it! My Mum had some very similar. Love looking at old brochures, you'd think they could have found a front panel that actually fitted the machine in the 2nd pic though! Matt | ||
