I have a 1986 I believe Maytag A612, Series 02 TL washer that I have replaced. It is working, but a year ago began to leak some oil and no work has been done on it. Still have some emotional attachments to it I guess:) and not sure what exactly to do with it. Currently sitting on my porch and needs to go elsewhere. Any suggestions appreciated. TIA

I think the jury would say fix it if u can


Those 12 series are still good washers and I believe are the last
dependable series models before Maytag went a shiding down the hill and crashed into the tree

If I could I would

 We can't/won't repair it and would like to make it available to someone who would rather than we or them disposing of it. It has been an extremely reliable machine, no repairs and very gentle, albeit using lots of water. It served us well all these years and wish someone who knows its qualities would take it and keep it running if possible. Guess I can dream:)

Is there a Goodwill,or Salvation Army store around? They usually take working appliances,and resell them.

It's not as simple....

with older appliances. I had a 27-year old GE electric range in find shape. None of the agencies I contacted would even come look at it. The story was, they did not take anything older than ten years.

someone posted back in August a pic from a Goodwill store that had a LK dryer with lighted controls. IIRC the asking price was either $40 or $80. Also depending on where you live you might find someone that sells used appliances (and may repair them) that would at least pick them up for you.

Sorry, I've been away

 knitwits1975,

Sorry, haven't been able to check in here (and then forgot I posted:() for awhile. I am in eastern WA and still have the machine. I may be able to store it for awhile, but it won't be in a heated area. Really, really need to get it off my porch! Also, sorry I don't have a digital camera, but may have the chance to have someone else take some pics this coming weekend.
