I am doing great with them....better with the Maytag than the Hoover, and by that I mean the Hoover now kicks ass, and you have to leave the lid closed while in use.......by design the Maytag has the little horizontal shield which keeps the water in a tidal wave.......
yes, I used windshield washer hose, a small piece of hard tubing used for vacuum lines of a car, and a dab of superglue......this is under a little more tension than the original flopping around, and it does give a nice vigorous wash, too loose and it will flop off the pulleys.......I was also thinking of using air line for an aquarium, a bit smaller in diameter to fit lower into the pulley...... but otherwise, I have been running them a few times a week, and so far no problems.....an inexpensive fix for the most part, but remember to measure with the new hose, and then take off about 1 - 2 inches to create a tension... let me know how you made out......if you can't find parts, I can send you some |

I think the reason there is no "Buy It Now" button is because it is an old auction, not currently in effect(2009). That's probably also why it didn't come up in a search. I'd contact the seller directly and ask it they have any left. |

No kidding, Tim. I got a NOS belt for my avocado A50 in Early, Iowa and it broke the first time I used it - it was too old. Then I got what I assume was almost the last (or the very last) belt in stock from pcappliancerepair.com last spring...it's been good. Now I need one for this new acquisition. ;)
