Hey Steve, Welcome, and congrats on the nice find! Your 606 was made approx. September of 1971 (thanks for the serial!). When it comes to value, it all depends on what you would pay for it, and what someone else would pay to take it off your hands. These machines can range anywhere from Free to 50 dollars, depending on condition a abuse. I've included a A606 panel from a brochure, but is a Series before your model, but will give a good idea of what the markings are. Keep us posted! Ben

That's too funny! I have an early 70s theme going here. My house was built in 71, I have a 71 Chevelle, my Harley is a 72 and now this washer is a 71. Thanks for the dial info. I am going to purchase it and clean this baby up! Steve | ||

Close call, the main thing is that you weren't injured
If you don't already have an appliance dolly - the type with a belt that cinches up and rollers that help it up or down stairs, get one. They are also called "refrigerator dollies" but they aren't only for fridges. They aren't that expensive and they are well worth whatever they cost. I've seen them at Home Depot, Costco, and Harbor Freight. I've been able to muscle my 78 GE Filter-Flo in and out of the house with my appliance dolly. And that thing weighs a ton. It also works on big old Wedgewood stoves. | ||

By the way Steve, the blue Permanent Press cycle has no markings, just the wash minutes. Soapy, bleachy fingers and spray prewash takes the markings off the dial and buttons, so be careful. Bobby | ||

Thanks Maytag Mom I had no idea the filter was under there. Great to know. Any other things I should know about this machine? Btw, which is the perk? The bike, or the washer? ;-) | ||

Timonator I have several Maytags in my warehouse. Most with chrome trim. Do you prefer to keep the painted chrome trim or would one with real chrome work for you? You would have to transfer all your controls to the new panel. | ||

Great Job on the Dial Steve!
The .pdf looks like a perfect match to me. You have a talent that would be very helpful in restoring decals on older machines! I totally agree with you on your statement about the 'sound'. It is a sound of wonderful engineering, wonderful craftsmanship, and that classic Maytag look. I know it took my good friend a little while to warm up to them, but once it hits - you know it - you're a Maytag fan! Ben BTW - is there a mouse or a rat under that hood? =) This Goat guy just has to ask! | ||

Mouse or Rat Only a mouse. It's a freshly rebuilt 350 with an Edelbrock Performer, Holley 650, headers, lumpy cam and electronic ignition, so it does manage to move. | ||
