Was that a carry over from the AMP models? The POD looks just like my 142, but it has the modern design. Is the POD a 140? Bobby in Boston | ||

Pardon my ignorance, but if the bolts held the inner tub to the outer tub, how the heck did it spin? Veg in the Maytag AMP design the there are two spin tubs bolted together, the outer spin tub is solid and the inner spin tub is perforated. You can see those big screws that hold the two tubs together in the picture below. Both tubs spin together and are surrounded by a THIRD outer tub. See the picture below; ignore the red shading that was for a different post. This was meant to help with sand disposal but actually made matters worse as the sand got trapped between the two tubs and the whole thing had to be taken apart and cleaned manually. The 1947 and 1948 Frigidaire Unimatic washers used a similar tub design, but GM quickly realized it's disadvantages early on and created a single solid tub started with the 1949 models. Maytag used this design for all AMPs from 1949 thru 1957.

Oh, now I get it!!
Yes, thanks for the info guys. To "rinso" and "bobbyderegis": I remember my father, bless his heart, using one of his medical mirrors to peer inside the lid safety switch of our GE WA-750W to see if he could figure out how to defeat it so I could watch it spin. Pity I didn't know at the time that you could lift off the whole cabinet top by inserting a flat-head into the two clips in the front. Oh, well, thanks for trying Dad.
