people in my neck of the woods pronounce it "whirpoo"!  No Kidding!

The Ebay sale picture also contains the damper dome and the brake assembly.

While this transmission was fairly simple overall it and the washer it was in was seriously outdated in many ways. In spite of the simple look from the outside it was a PIA to replace, expensive to build and not all that reliable. [ I just replaced one for a little old lady who managed to strip the plastic pinion gear out ]

One of its biggest problems was the suspension design was so poor that the washer always had to have an out-of-balance-switch making it far less than an automatic washer, Most consumers hatted the fact that many laundry loads required two trips back down the basement stairs to re-balance a load to get it done.

As everyone here knows Maytag was the one that was trying to kill off this design. This is why MT really was pushing the Norge and Amana-Speed Queen style washers. The ONLY reason that MT kept producing the DC machines was for commercial use and for the old Mom&Pop dealers that told MT if they got rid of this design they would not sell any MT appliances any longer as most of what MT was selling in the late 90s-2006 was having far too many service problems.

Mother's is 22 now, only one repair...the timer went out.  And she washes every day.

We had a GE Filter Flo growing up that was out of balance quite often, usually with smaller loads and mixed cotton/poly loads (it was the 70's).  That poor thing banged and scraped it's way through the beginning of many, many spin cycles and even with a moderately unbalanced load sounded like a sound effect from a roiling thunderstorm in a B movie.  

When the washer finally knocked a hole in it's own outer tub and it began to weep water in 1981, we went looking for a new machine.  My grandmother was along on the shopping trip and after seeing the Hotpoints, GE's, Whirlpools and WCI plastic products said "you'd be a fool to buy anything but a Maytag."  So that's what we got - BOL, A110.   The out of balance stop was a very welcome change to the cacophony of the GE's spin, but it happened less often with the Maytag.   We had it for five years then sold it to a neighbor friend of the family during a move.  She washed for five and finally replaced it when it was nearly 18 years old.  

I've had Maytags for years and never have had complaints about balancing and re-distribute trips back to the machine.  I have a couple of the very thick cotton 2x3 bath mats from Costco that almost every other machine struggles with.  The SQ front-loader gets particularly testy with those, even had the poor thing try to dance the Time Warp once with a 'jump to the left' once.  If it put them in a large-tub Maytag, they come out perfect every time.  Never out of balance and never stops.  

Our GE FF's developed quite a rhythm when they would start that banga banga banga out of balance beat...ours didn't have a shut off on it so it would keep going until someone stopped it.  Our Maytags never did any of that.  I remember back in late '80s or early '90s Consumer Reports said the Maytag was better at handling off balance loads.

Yes, that's what we had.

I had an unbalanced load in my Hotpoint the other night, a fleece jacket in a load of mixed cottons.  I knew it was going to be a trouble maker when I put it in and sure enough, I had to go sprinting back to the basement when it started that bump-scrape dance.  Of course, I wasn't standing over the machine watching, I'd wandered off to gaze at some other shiny object.

Poly fleece holds a lot of water but releases it quicker and then weighs nothing compared with cottons and denims that hold much more moisture in the fiber.  Instant off-balance test.  This time, it was on the final spin and the jacket was bunched up all on one side.  It must have been more equally arranged in the wash-spin as that went through with no trouble.
