Can anyone help in finding a lens cover for my new aquisition? I tried my local appliance repair, but they cannot find one in their stock. If anyone has one, I am willing to buy it from you. Thanks, GG CLICK HERE TO GO TO gadgetgary's LINK |

Since the lens cover is NLA anywhere(Thank you Mr. Eric-LOL, I wracked my brain thinking how I could make one. Ding!Ding!Ding! Make a template. You know those so-called disposable food storage containers that you buy in the grocery store.....they go in the microwave too. That is what I used to make a lens cover for my new Maytag 806 |

The Maytag is having a slight leaking issue when washing a full tub. There is a very minor water leak during spin by the area where the front label starts(on left of label), and a slight leak where the tub ring is screwed together. There was a bad rust spot on the other side of the label and I seemed to have repaired it with Mighty Putty. Any other suggestions(epoxy, silicone, etc), to stop that minor leak? During the entire cycle, it might leak perhaps 1-2 tbsp of water. |

Pray that the outer tub lip isn't badly rusted. I have a spot on the outer tub of my 806 that's is rusted and probably can't be repaired. Sucks because the outer tub has been NLA since 2002 and only the early 806's and 906's with the timed bleach dispenser used that tub. I'll probably have to use the common outer tub from another machine from a 06-12 series machine :(

If I could find somebody willing to mold and make me another tub (I would demand to have the mold back!!) I would be in heaven!!! Unfortunately, around my area I doubt I could find anyone willing to do it. Sadly, it seems like the older generation who knew and are (were) willing to carry out tasks like this, are either retired or dead.

The screws should be very tight. I take a good size pliers and hold the clamp while using a large straight blade screw driver to tighten them. After the curing process has completed, make sure that both screws are tight (one of the front side, pictured, and then there should be another one 180 degrees opposite.) Hopefully the rust hasn't take too much of a toll. |
