Item location: Dundalk, MD, United States "Vintage Maytag Automatic Washing Machine. Very early model of Maytag Automatic Washer. Body in very good shape Has all original hoses, which would need replacing if you're going to use this on a day to day basis. This was my Great-Aunt's and I don't know if it still works or not but it's a great piece in great condition. Definitely a Maytag Collectible Piece It's heavy, bring muscle to move it."

Knowing those old maytags as we do, the timer is probably frozen as well. Timers are usually the first thing to die on a Maytag. | ||

Austin! Austin, I'm VERY PROUD of you!!! Mark Bob, the pump is energized by friction from the back side of the belt! Note how the belt comes off and replace it the same way. Enjoy your new machine!!! Mark | ||

MAYTAG HI A neighbor had this machine when I was a kid. I seem to rember a round glass with the stages of the cycle on it. A red arrow moved from wash to spin to rinse to spin.Am I right about this?? or rembering something from another machine??? THANKS

AMP WITH CABINET OFF Well, of course, the FIRST thing you have to do is take the ENTIRE cabinet off.

fill flume this sure is a gracefully designed part of this machine. Even the upper rubber tub gasket is still resilient. This is one sweet old machine. You may also notice the original fill hoses in this photo, and the original power cord as well.

Hi Bob, yes that agitator is the same as on the Homepage. That the earliest Maytag automatic agitator, only used in the very first AMP model. Great pictures, one thing I had to do is in both AMP's that I have owned is to change the bottom bearing in the crossbrace. It was noiser than it should be during Spin. I know I have pictures of that around here somewhere, I will look for them. | ||

The Chrome float can double as a 45rpm adapter on the turntable.... Maybe not, too big. Nice machine! | ||

Maytag Gas dryer FilterFlo, before Halo of Heat design, all Maytag gas dryers had electric ignition, no pilot. Your dryer could have a bad coil in the gas valve. Enjoy your electric one. Bob, Contratulations. Once you get all of the lid switch bypass set up, you should try one of the Power Fin agitators in the AMP. | ||

Bob ... I think this link shows how Robert re-wired the lid of his 1949 AMP. BTW ... did you date your machine yet? I think somewhere there's a chart utilizing the serial number. Geoff CLICK HERE TO GO TO geoffdelp's LINK | ||
