Hi all, Anyone looking for a Maytag 806 washer for parts or project? Come and get it (Chicago area) before it goes to the curb for bulk pick-up day on May 13. Thank you! Brad | ||

I just realized that... one can select a warm rinse, no matter the wash temperature, on this machine. (I noticed that some posters have bemoaned the fact that many washers no longer offer a warm rinse.) | ||

 This is also the only washer I know of that offers a slow wash/fast spin combo. That's one of the main reasons I'd like to find an 806 near me.
Too bad this one has a problem. Everything about it is too nice to end up at the crusher. Those selector buttons are barely worn and worth saving, just for starters. | ||

I replied via email so I wouldn't clutter the forum with possible pick-up details... I'm located about three miles east of I-294 (Half Day Road/IL 22 exit). | ||

Oops That's I-94 (I-294 has rejoined I-94 by that point). | ||

Contact "yogitunes" He has a way to get that agitator unstuck. So glad you found this machine. An 806 will handle just about anything and is highly versatile. | ||

I would think it might be fairly easy to find a matching dryer for this washer. If not a perfect match, at least a close one. | ||

1979 Maytag 806 Washer Hi Raymond, and welcome to AW, The 806 is a good choice for something vintage and yet very usable and fairly easy to repair.
The other great thing about this washer is the matching dryer is much better than the earlier MT HOH dryers in terms of performance, safety, capacity and repairablity.
It should be fairly easy to fix this MT washer, the tub bearing and seal kits are still available and even if you can't get the agitator out easily it is easy to just brake it out, these agitators are still a dime a dozen, we threw out out two MT center dial washers last week alone and I don't even bother to save the agitators [ have too many already ] so if you need any thing let me know.

Thank you John... My goal is to keep everything in tact but I will keep your offer in mind if I have to break it apart! | ||
