Hey, was checking in to see if anyone wants a free Maytag A806. It is far from mint, but thought I'd check before I send it off to the scrap heap. I'm in Omaha.

It was my moms, It's Avacado Green, needs cleaned up, and the paint is faded in the front. It is not the model that lights up.

I think the transmission is okay. Washer works, but squeals when going into spin. Greg N. looked at it briefly and said it needed a total rebuild. It was in my parents house when they bought it in 85, and it's had 24 years of hard use on it since then.

I already have a center dial Maytag, and have NO interest in this one.

If you can pick it up, or will be in Omaha sometime in the near future, and want it, let me know! I don't have pix, but will try to get some to email if interested.

All 806's had a lighted console unless it was swapped out sometime during its life. I'm sure someone here will be interested and willing to take on the task of bringing her back to her former glory.

It's a 606 washer - not the worst one I've ever seen for sure but it will need some good appliance-lovin' to be a daily-driver again.

I'll double check the model number, as it's in my garage, but thought it was an 806. No lighted panel tho.
It does have a pilot lamp and control lay-out from left to right is: cold warm hot / Regular Gentle / Small Medium Normal Large.
I would guess it's from 1973. When my parents bought the house it came with all the appliances. All in the kitchen, and all bought at the same time by the original owners. And all in Avacado. All appliances, portable dishwasher, stove, side by side fridge, garbage disposal were ALL Frigidaire. The washer and dryer tho were matching Maytags. I always wondered why they didn't go with Frigidaire for those as well.
