Good afternoon fellow members, Kind of a lazy Sunday here so i decided to do the laundry in mom's Maytag. I did three loads and she ran like a charm. Some of the clothes and towels had some pretty hefty stains, and every single stain came out. I have had simalar stains on clothes before, and when I washed them in my A408 clothes still came out with faded stains. I'll tell ya as much as I love my 408 mom's maytag wins hands down. I understand now when mom did wash many years ago and hung the clothes on the line to dry why the colors and whites were so bright.

Glad to hear you had great results. The Maytag wringers clean remarkably well. When I have time to use one of my wringers, I'm amazed at how well they consistently produce superior results. Not sure what accounts for the difference, but it does perform better IMHO. |

Its got to be the set it and forget it and after 20-30 minutes you remember, go back and its still chugging away. Easily cleaning and not ruining anything. Thats the beauty of a wringer washer. I wished I could get my grandmothers Maytag running again, but afraid it is toast. I'm going to keep looking for another wringer thats not a zillion miles away.

I used to use two quarters with a nickel between them held together with electrical tape. |

Be careful that you don't try to close the lid with something stuck in the lid switch. You could bend the lid and lose your balls. |
