I know there were plans awhile back to make a Whirlpool/Maytag hybrid... Is this it? There aren't enough pictures to determine, this may be an out of date picture too, but it's listed only on the Maytag commercial laundry website... It says beltless and it's one of the few not listed as discontinued!

Hmm

Unless they managed to adapt the agi, this looks like the machine is pure direct-drive Whirlpool on the inside, by the specs I can see...

I wonder if they kept any aspect of the Maytag machines besides the control panel...

Look and you will see another thing that is Maytag...the screws on the bottom of the front. But one could see that such an access panel could also work on a DD Whirlpool. This all depends on how you go about changing motors and pumps on Whirlpools. I see no prob.

Probably an old pic with a new description. It's pure DD WP. They had no plans to keep anything Maytag, but supposedly had a list of some 200 items they were going to improve upon the DD design to better work in a commercial environment.

This unit is a WP D/D thru and thru. Looking at the breakdown I have shows this. The cabinette still comes off the normal way and there is no front access panel. It looks like the front screws attach to the chassis for extra stability for the wrapper.
