Bottom view. The spot on the bottom of the power unit is not grease but rather some kind of factory goop. It won't come off. |

A REAL beauty and a true collectors item! 1980?? Is there a typo or Maytag were still manufacturing some of those by then? ''Someone used her with the wrappers on the wringer rolls'' LOL or S.O.S. (...Sigh...) |

Jim, the minute I got my first Tag, I changed the hose. The original just splashed too much, and wasn't long enough for my laundry room set-up. Now I have a regular all rubber hose on her, and though she still drains so fast, there is no splashing. Please don't waste that magnificent pump on a gravity drain.
Somewhere that MUST be sacrilege ;-D OR.... drain by gravity with the pump on, for real pump drama and a total "warshday" rush. LOL. Do you have a basement? I fully agree with all up-to-code-factory-standard people, that the original elevated shiny hook is stunning and a quintessential Maytag Signature, but it is narrow, making the water pressure unmanageable in certain sinks and situations. |

Before any surgery, John reminded me that you can open the pump kind of half way by moving the lever slowly toward the ON position but not going all the way. I had forgotten about this. Leave to John.
His grandmother had to drain her E2LP into a short "vegetable sink." And after the first flash flood, he experimented with the pump lever. His story recalled something I had forgotten. When experimenting with underflow rinsing a few years ago, I learned the same trick so that the incoming overflow water could keep up with the pump, which would only work if I slowed that ever eager hose down. John said his grand mother did this for years and years without any damage to the pulley, wheels, etc.. He explained how and why it works just last night, but I've already forgotten. LOL Maybe later I'll remember. |

Hello again, Jim,
Here's a pic of the hose extension I rigged up - clamped it right onto the goose-neck so that it extends down into the sink. I couldn't find appropriate hose at Lowe's or Home Depot - so I went to a hose distributor and was able to buy just a short length, enough to do my Kenmore wringer drain hose as well. |
