Ok knitwits1975
You have the right place. I have a plethera of info on the Maytag A606. Just change the 23.95 belt. I reccomend both be changed. Remove the front panel, (two screws at the bottom) and then pull slightly out and down on the panel. It will come off. Thenk tilt the washer back about 1 foot, make it stable and the belts are right in front of the frame underneath. no tools except for a phillips screw driver are required. If that does not work, email me. Hey welcome to this website. We have a very interesting time here and more to come.......................... I will help you. Good luck Steve | ||

I don't believe the A606 has the set screw. The ones with the set screw came on later models. Of course one should look to be sure tho. There is always the possibility that it was replaced with one with a set screw. | ||

Could be the belts squealing,easy enough to change. Check the hoses in the back,could be the cause of a leak. Another common spot for a Maytag water leak is a small plastic part,not sure what it's called,which is in the hose from the mixing valve,to the top of the tub.It gets limed up,and can cause a leak.Easy enough to fix.Pull the front off,and watch while it fills,to see if you can pinpoint the leak. 606's were made from the mid 60's,up into the mid to late 70's.IIRC.Welcome! kennyGF | ||

Julia- Stick with the Maytags! Few machines are their equals. Parts are still quite available for these lovely units. There's no reason why these couldn't go another 20-30 years. Just my .2 . Lawrence/Maytagbear | ||

Even 10 years ago washers weren't built to last as these Maytags were. I'd keep the Maytags. What is the cosmetic condition of these unit? Don't worry about asking questions here, we enjoy answering them! If you don't ask, how are you going to know? | ||

No Image Available :( The diagrams on that Sears site all show "NO IMAGE AVAILABLE" on my screen. Is there another source I could look at? Thanks once again! Julia | ||

Type in model A806 at Sears site. Different model but share many of the parts. It will at least give you an idea what it is like inside. | ||

Cut away
I've included a cut away spec sheet for the Maytag's, any model (a favorite POD of mine). This is a good reference to see what is going on inside the unit. If you look right below the hindges, you will see the injector assembly. This would leak during the a fill. Also note the water valve, another possible leak zone. Another common leaky zone is the hose between the pump and the outer tub. Usually it is just really nasty hose clamps, but is usually a good idea to replace the hose as well. Also check the hose/clamp on the drain as well - the hose that runs out the back side of the pump (looking from the front). It also could be leaking from a tub seal as well, or a rusted outer tub. Pull the front cover off, and look for obvious signs of a real rusty place, or where you see recent dampness. Let us know if you need any help. Ben

Plastic Hook On the Bottom Of A MT Power-Finn Agitator That plastic hook was left over from the molding process, normally all four should have been removed before the agitator was ever installed in the washer when it was first assembled.
We used to see some crazy things on new MTs and WPs in the 70s, quality control was not anywhere near as good in the 70s as it is now. | ||
