My mom had the A105 up until Hurricane Katrina. Blue small tub with turquiose powerfin agitator. It did a helluva rollover when washing. | ||

A613 I have an A613...it's a great machine. I also have a '97 Dependable Care. Amazingly, the A613 holds as much as the DC, and the turnover (rollover) is better. Also rinses much better too, as the spray rinse is 90 seconds long. | ||

Maytag washers were classic up until the mid 90s when they started using Norge/Tragic Chef/Whatever machines. | ||

Says on the brochure it's a "Helical" drive. Now is that the slower agitating machine? I thought those were Orbital. My mom's had fast agitation. | ||

differences??? How are the A883 and A612 different? Unless I missed something, the only thing I saw that made them different was the color of the tub.... | ||

The 883 is a builder's model, only difference is styling. Also, did y'all notice that some of these control panels look like they're "constructed" from retouched photos? Gives one the impression that these machines were made ad hoc with whatever surplus parts Maytag had left over. I wonder if that was a commom practice with a lot of bona fide appliance makers. As I've posted on this site before, a lot of my beloved GE filter-flo's don't appear in stock catalogues and seem to be ad hoc oddball models.

Those models in question ran from about 84/85 til 1990. Except the 104 and 105. They hung around a few more years under a different model number. These models were only made for certain stores. There were a few local department stores here that caried some of these models. The 482, 883, and 884 were extremly popular here in Cincinnati Ohio. 87' is when maytag introduced the orbital trannsmission which was around series 11 in most of these models. The machines in the above brochores are pre-series 11. If you look at the warranty it only 5yrs on the tranny. Orbital had 10yrs until about 03'or 04'????. Just my .02 worth | ||

I can tell you what made them different....
Around the time that these machines were made was when my family was going to get another Maytag to replace the really old one that my Mom had. One was sold by Fretter/Silo, and the other was sold by everyone else. This was circa--1987-88-89, the blue tub,shiny model.It was their claim at the time that they would price match anyone, however, they did not have the exact model # of machines, hense, making it impossible to do so. Perhaps that was part of Fretter/Silo's downfall.They were nice machines, I would take one. Alot of companies now a days, namely Sears, have machines that are all theirs with the Maytag name on them,not that it makes them bettter;if I was deperate, uninformed, and had a Sears card in my possession, it would look tasty to get one.My two and a half cents worth.
