The 606 didn't have seperate spin/wash speeds, just RA or GA. It didn't have a rinse temp selector. It didn't have a prewash cycle. It didn't have a tub light or console light. It didn't have the timed bleach injector. It didn't have the metal piece of trim on the front panel. I'm sure I've missed something but others will add on.

Well see I have a chance to get a matched A606 and DE606. I would really rather get the 806 versions. I am not sure what I am going to do. | ||

The only light the 606 had on some of its models was the little pilot light that was merely a dot above the dial, and was activated when the knob was pulled out. Have a good one, James | ||

Is there a difference in tub size?
Same size tub as the 806. Starting in 1966, Maytag offered a larger tub in certain models (19 pounds if I recall correctly). Before 1966, ALL tubs were the same 16 pound size whether BOL or TOL and everywhere in between. The difference between the small and large tubs is that the large tub is a wee deeper than 2 inches. Both tubs are the same diameter, thus use the same hardware with the exception of the outer tub braces.

Those are beutiful machines you have. I still wonder what the tub size is though. Also, could I easily wash a queen-sized bed comforter in it? How about small bathroom rugs? | ||

806 Manuals Does anyone have or know where I can get an instruction manual my 806 washer and dryer? I need the dryer manual more so than the washer so I can figure out how to light the pilot light. | ||
