I’ve never seen a Maytag Wringer with a time before. Is must be a pretty rare model.

I presume the timer functions the same as the ones found on EASY Spindriers and doesn't actually control any operations.

Timer shut off the agitator

But didn't turn off power so motor would continue to run regardless. IIRC there may have been a bell or something to alert Madame her washing was ready to be wrung out.

A (defunct) member posted some time ago how the thing worked. Apparently the timer could only be set for maximum of fifteen minutes. When it was done not only did it stop the agitator, but one couldn't operate the wringer either. This meant restarting the timer and hope one finished the mangling before it ran out. If one used up that fifteen minutes, timer would shut things down, and one had to restart it again. Many housewives soon got fed up I shouldn't wonder.

No, Maytag didn't produce large numbers of these machines so they are rather rare.

Maytag WWs With Timer

Are rare but only cut off the agitation and left the motor running which of corse allowed as much operation of the wringer as one liked.

 

As usual Laundress you did good research but you should have read the next few posts [ again ] that explained this completely, the defunct member had a lot of incorrect information in the post you reference as confirmed by several other members such as Kenmore71 Mark.

The wringer Maytags

WERE to my mind one of the best wringer washers ever, and certainly the best thing Maytag ever built.
