Thanks, I'll have to look for the serial number when I see the washer in person. I can't tell for sure, but it looks like this is a two-speed, with a warm rinse option (so it's a "pre-Jimmy Carter" model). I don't know if the back lights up, but it would be cool if it did (or if it could be retrofitted to light up). | ||

The washer pictured-- looks more like a 206 to me than a 606. I could be wrong, very wrong, but I'd bet .75 US. Lawrence/Maytagbear | ||

Hi Lenora, It could be that one or both of the inlet screens on the water valve are clogged. This is where the water supply hoses attach to the washer. Or it could be one of the valve's solenoids is failing. It's not a big deal to remove and replace the valve assembly, and they are of a more or less universal design so availability shouldn't be an issue.
The tub does only fill from that one area you described. | ||

1978 Brochure Pictures
See below for console pics from 1978 brochure of both the A608 and A208. It is definitely an A608 as several have already mentioned.
